  3. "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.

  4. 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.

    Bert was thrilled to find a pint of Ben and Jerry’s •Everything But The Kitchen Sink• on the lower shelf of the hooman’s freezer.

    NO sharing will happen.

    Chocolate, however, will be plentiful.

  7. 2/2 Dumpin pelko on laajaa.

    Ben & Jerry'sin toinen perustaja #JerryGreenfield eroaa nyk. Unileverin omistamasta yhtiöstä, koska se yrittää vaientaa heidät.

    Erokirjeessään hän syyttää Ben & Jerry’sin omistajaa Unileveriä yrityksen hiljentämisestä ajassa, jolloin Yhdysvaltain hallinto ”hyökkää kansalaisoikeuksia, äänioikeuksia, maahanmuuttajien, naisten ja #LGBTQ-yhteisön oikeuksia vastaan”.

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. > "[...] 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.

  11. 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.”

  12. 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.
