One co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s has quit the business after 47 years, citing the loss of the company’s independence under parent company Unilever to support social campaigns.
Only last week, Ben & Jerry’s released a statement asking to be freed from its ownership to be able to focus on its “social justice mission”. Now, one of their original members, Jerry Greenfield, has announced his departure, saying he had made “one of the hardest and most painful decisions I’ve ever made”.
