McDonald's: "doing more with less". Dead simple, impact assured.

Tetra Pak: "Sustainability is core to the business we are in. It is about never being satisfied with the progress we make". Honest, serious, committed, typical of Swiss/Swede business mantra. And yes, Tetra Pak is committed and delivers the goods.

Unilever: it's hard to find a short definition (there are many bullet points and whole chaps all over the place) but two CEO declarations may do the job: "We want to be a sustainable business in every sense of the word" and "We do not believe there is a conflict between sustainability and profitable growth". So Unilever first means business, and yes they can deliver.

Monsanto sustainable agriculture: "producing more - conserving more - improving lives". (I interprete this as reflecting economic, environment and social dimensions of sustainability, with a slighlty different wording...not highly imaginative, but not too bad for a chemical cpy)

Syngenta: the company takes you directly for a ride on its "foundation for sustainable agriculture", which is rolling out real life projects on the ground. Smart.

Non for profit, but interesting Bill and Melinda Foundation - no definition, but good declarations: "We are focused on helping farmers increase their yields and incomes in ways that are sustainable over the long term. That means protecting the viability of the soil,water, and other natural resources on which they depend for their food and livelihoods"
