ben consider cream dessert eaten indulgent meal pint tub
Ben & Jerry's is an indulgent dessert that should be eaten in moderation. You should not be replacing more than one meal a day with ice cream. We do not consider a pint or a tub of ice cream to be a single serving.
ben cannot companies enterprise evolved exist people products social supply trying whose
Ben & Jerry's evolved into what it is doing and is trying to transition its supply chain, but this is essentially retrofitting. In the social enterprise movement, we see companies whose essence, the products they make, the reason they exist from day one, is because these people see something out in the world that they cannot accept.
ben built business community responsibility
Ben and I built Ben & Jerry's on the idea that business has a responsibility to the community and environment.
accepted country exception people scientists united
You know, I get frustrated with our country's administration, which is really the people who are not acknowledging global warming. I mean, it's accepted by scientists around the world, scientists in our country and it's accepted by every country around the world with the exception of the United States.
ben great
One of the great things about Ben & Jerry's for me is that not only is it delicious, but I get it for free.

Traffic is going to be absolutely horrendous. The plan makes sense, but the roads don't.

Neither of us could have anticipated twenty years ago that a major multi-international would some day sign on, enthusiastically, to pursue and expand the social mission that continues to be an essential part of Ben & Jerry's and a driving force behind many of our successes.

It?s good all around. It?s great working with an organization like Goodwill. On a day like today, there?s free ice cream and you can?t beat that.
alienate believe business businesses companies extremely money potential rare stand values
The reality is that most companies are not about any values at all - they are about making money. It is extremely rare for a business to stand for anything because most businesses don't want to alienate potential customers, and if you believe in anything you are going to alienate someone.
added aspect business company spiritual value
We added value to the company by doing business the way we did it. There is a spiritual aspect to business.
ice scream
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.
ben happy
I'm happy that Ben & Jerry's is still able to do things autonomously.
believe ben involved supporting
If you happen to believe what Ben & Jerry's is supporting and involved in, then you should support the company. If you don't believe in what we are supporting, don't support it.
