Update: 2025-12-08
Description
Anuradha Mittal, Ben and Jerrys independent board chair, refuses to resign amidst Unilevers public spin-off of its ice cream division, including Ben and Jerrys. Unilevers new company, Magnum, claims Mittal doesnt meet criteria, but no details provided. The dispute escalates due to Ben and Jerrys political stance on Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories. Mittal faces scrutiny over financial controls and governance in the Ben and Jerrys Foundation, which she believes is a manufactured inquiry to discredit her. Mittal insists shes upholding the brands social mission and product quality responsibilities. The tension underscores the challenge of balancing a brands social mission with corporate interests as Magnum prepares for global market entry.
