  1. "The so-called audit of the foundation was a manufactured inquiry—engineered to attempt to discredit me," Anuradha Mittal said in a statement. "It is important to understand that this is not simply an attack on me as chair. It is Unilever’s attempt to undermine the authority of the Board itself."

    Mittal said she is carrying out her role as chair with respect for the social mission & product quality responsibilities given to the board in #BenAndJerrys 2000 merger agreement with #Unilever.

  2. Exclusive: #BenAndJerrys board chair does not plan to resign as pressure mounts from #Unilever unit

    Unilever spinoff Magnum Ice Cream will list publicly on #Euronext on Monday, & is inheriting a deepening corporate feud between Unilever & Ben & Jerry's, stemming from the politically #progressive brand's stance on the #Israel - occupied #Palestinian territories.

  10. Jerry Greenfield, Mitgründer von Ben & Jerry's, verlässt das Unternehmen wegen politischer Einschränkungen durch Mutterkonzern Unilever. Er fühlt sich „zum Schweigen gebracht“ und kritisiert die Einschränkung der sozialen Mission. #BenAndJerrys #Unilever #SozialeMission 🍦✊ n-tv.de/wirtschaft/Jerry-von-B

  11. i wondered if it was a bad corporate reception to the launch of their new Cherry Kirksh flavour... but... somewhat more predictably... it was primarily over their support of occupied Palestine.

    ah well, ice cream guy, thanks for your service 🫡 there are better icecreams, but there are very few who would ever take the slightest stand for social justice

  12. > "[...] jetzt sei Ben & Jerry's aber "zum Schweigen gebracht" worden, schreibt Greenfield [...]. Dahinter stehe die "Angst, die Machthabenden zu verärgern". In einer Zeit, in der das Wahlrecht und die Rechte von Migranten, Frauen oder Menschen der LGBTQ-Bewegung in Gefahr seien, sei dies wichtiger denn je."

    Stabil, hoffentlich zieht Ben nach und Unilever kann nur noch "&" Eis verkaufen.

  13. Under the acquisition deal, #Unilever agreed to let #BenAndJerrys maintain an #independent board to oversee the brand, allowing Ben & Jerry’s to place “guardrails” around its social #activism & giving its founders continued control of the company.

    For over 20 years, the company was able to speak out on issues it cared about, Mr. Greenfield wrote. But, he added, “It’s profoundly disappointing to come to the conclusion that that #independence, the very basis of our sale to Unilever, is gone.”

  14. In the statement, Mr. Greenfield said he could no longer “in good conscience” remain at the company he helped start in 1978.

    Mr. Greenfield said that the “independence to pursue our values” that had been guaranteed for Ben & Jerry’s when it merged with Unilever in 2000 had been lost. “Ben & Jerry’s has been silenced, sidelined for fear of upsetting those in power,” he added.

  15. The move, announced by fellow co-founder Ben Cohen on social media early Wednesday, follows years of mounting tensions between #Unilever, which acquired the ice cream company in 2000, & the Ben & Jerry’s founders, who have long been outspoken on social issues. The relationship especially deteriorated since the start of the #war in #Gaza.

  18. 1. Ben & Jerry to Unilever: This is not the Ben & Jerry’s that we founded.

    2. Unilever to Ben & Jerry: This is not the Ben & Jerry's that you own.

    I made up the second one, but you know someone at Unilever said that.

    #BenCohen from #BenAndJerrys disrupts #RFKjrHearing and was violently removed from hearing along with other protesters as he said,' Congress pays for bombs that kill citizens in #Gaza 🇵🇸... '

    If I'm wrong correct me, but if I heard it correctly on #DemocracyNow, the rest of his statement was about how Congress kills citizens in Gaza whilst allowing #Medicaid cuts to kill people in the U.S.

    If there's anyone in the United States who knows a person working for the #CapitolPolice, sternly tell them that it's the #farright U.S. Nazi Party and their #MAGAMorons (#J6) who are their enemies, not unarmed 74 year old Ben Cohen and unarmed protesters!

    If my granddad were treated like Cohen, I'd give what-for!
