Ben and Jerry’s

A company that ISN’T evil??? My mind has been blown…
I have always admired Ben and Jerry’s as a company; mostly because they’re ice cream is SUPER yummy and because they don’t use weird synthetic sugars. But recently I realized they’re doing MUCH more than making high calorie dairy snakes…they’re inspiring social change. Ben and Jerry’s supports three missions-social, product, and economic-that lead the business world in its progressive business strategies. They’re a corporation that doesn’t necessarily believe in capitalism. They say, “We strive to show a deep respect for human beings inside and outside our company and for the communities in which they live.” Crazy, right? You can read more about their brilliant insanity and their missions statements here.
