Ben & Jerry's Co-Founder Just Quit The Iconic Ice Cream Brand. Here's Why - Tasting Table

The resignation letter was posted by Ben on his personal account. In it, Jerry made it clear that he still loves the company and the people who work there. His own passion came from being able to use his position to advocate for social justice and values that he and Ben instilled in the company. Jerry further noted that "the independence to pursue our values, which was guaranteed when Unilever bought the company" in 2000 was imperative to the sale - though now says "It's profoundly disappointing to come to the conclusion that that independence ... is gone."
