caring environmental making-money
Businesses can lead with their values and make money, too. You don't have to simply be purely profit-driven. You can integrate social and environmental concerns into a business, be a caring business, be a generous business and still do very well financially.
thinking impact environmental
Look at your business and the activities that you undertake. Then, start to think about not just your economic concerns, but about social and environmental impacts that businesses have.
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.

I'm just against a road being dumped into a community with no plans to take it anyplace else.

I'm happy that Ben & Jerry's is still able to do things autonomously.

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.

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.
behind ben continues driving essential expand force major mission neither pursue sign social twenty
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.
