Jerry Greenfield Ben Quotations

One of the great things about Ben & Jerry's for me is that not only is it delicious, but I get it for free.

One out of every 100 family's in Vermont was a part owner of Ben and Jerry's.

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.

Ben and I built Ben & Jerry's on the idea that business has a responsibility to the community and environment.

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 & 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.

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

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.

If you happen to believe what Ben & Jerry's is supporting and involved in, then you should support the company. If you don't believe in what we are supporting, don't support it.
