In the U.S., there has been a long-running legal battle between Ben & Jerry\u2019s and parent company Unilever over the ice cream maker\u2019s progressive social activism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ben & Jerry\u2019s previously filed a lawsuit against Unilever, accusing it of attempting to oust its former chief executive Dave Stever and its board over the ice cream maker\u2019s vocal criticism of Israel and President Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a recent court filing, Unilever rejected the claims and sought to have the case dismissed, as it accused Ben & Jerry\u2019s of pursuing a \u201cstaunchly pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli stance\u201d that caused it to lose investors and tarred its reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unilever also claimed that Stever was offered a pay increase and a \u201cprominent role in the larger global ice cream business\u201d, but he chose to voluntarily resign on March 31 this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lawyer for Ben & Jerry\u2019s called Unilever\u2019s claims \u201crevisionism\u201d and a \u201cthinly-veiled attempt to save face.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The American ice cream-maker Ben & Jerry’s announced on July 19, 2021 they would stop selling their ice cream in the occupied Palestinian territories, saying its sale “is inconsistent with our values.” In a statement, the Unilever subsidiary said they “hear and recognise the concerns shared with us by our fans and trusted partners,” without elaborating. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
