BEN & JERRY'S

Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc., started in 1978 in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont, USA, founded by childhood friends and dedicated activists Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield. In 2000 Ben & Jerry’s became a wholly owned subsidiary of Unilever whilst maintaining an independent Board of Directors to provide leadership focused on preserving and expanding Ben & Jerry's social mission, brand integrity, and product quality. Unilever is now demerging its Ice Cream Division and establishing The Magnum Ice Cream Company, the largest global standalone Ice Cream company! Nowadays our products are distributed in 35 countries in supermarkets, grocery stores, convenience stores, franchise Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shops, restaurants and other venues.

At Ben & Jerry’s we have an inspiring ambition. We aim to pioneer our ‘linked prosperity business model’ to advance the global movement for social and economic justice while growing to be a billion Euro brand. Therefore, we are expanding rapidly in Europe as well as in new markets in Asia and Latin America. This translates into a high-paced growth environment where we bring our grassroots and activist spirit every day. That is how we remain a true values-led organization with a connected 3-part mission, which you will find reflected in your goals and aspirations:

Social mission: to initiate innovative ways to improve the quality of life locally, nationally and internationally

Product mission: to make and distribute the finest quality all natural and super premium ice-cream and euphoric concoctions

Economic mission: to operate the Company on a sustainable financial basis of profitable growth
