Founded in the United States in 1978, Ben & Jerry's is known for championing progressive causes, including protecting the environment and promoting human rights, and has frequently released special ice cream flavors to support causes or in protest.
Unilever, which last week said it had"never expressed any support" for the BDS movement, defended its right to execute the transaction. "As we said in our statement of 29th June, Unilever had the right to enter this arrangement. The deal has already closed," the company said Tuesday, adding"We do not comment on pending litigation."When Ben & Jerry's was sold, the companies agreed that the ice cream maker's independent board would remain free to pursue its social mission, but Unilever would have the final word on financial and operational decisions.
Zinger's legal team said the recent decision by Unilever was part of a settlement. He thanked Unilever for resolving the matter and for the"strong and principled stand" it has taken against BDS."There is no place for discrimination in the commercial sale of ice cream," Zinger said.
Excellent.
