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.
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.
believe ideas passionate
Don't just do something because it's a trendy idea and will make you a lot of money. The reason I say that is because any kind of venture involves going through difficult times. If you're doing something you are passionate about and really believe in, then that will carry you through.
believe support should
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.
believe stand-for-something values
It's good to stand for something, to believe in something and base your business on values.
ben issues safe willing
I like that Ben & Jerry's is willing to speak out about social and political issues that aren't always safe - but are the right thing to do.
against community dumped plans road
I'm just against a road being dumped into a community with no plans to take it anyplace else.
ben happy
I'm happy that Ben & Jerry's is still able to do things autonomously.
absolutely plan roads traffic
Traffic is going to be absolutely horrendous. The plan makes sense, but the roads don't.
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.
ben owner vermont
One out of every 100 family's in Vermont was a part owner of Ben and Jerry's.

One of the great things about Ben & Jerry's for me is that not only is it delicious, but I get it for free.
