Latest News About Jerry Greenfield

Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:

• Jerry Greenfield, the co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s, resigned from the company in September 2025 after 47 years, citing that Unilever had silenced the brand’s activism and independence. This departure marked a high-profile split from the ice cream brand he helped build in the late 1970s. [cite ]

• The announcement followed years of public activism by Ben & Jerry’s and growing tensions with its parent company, including earlier disputes over the brand’s social missions and political stances. Greenfield described leaving as one of the hardest decisions he’d made and indicated he could no longer work in good conscience under the current structure. [cite ]

• Media coverage on the resignation appeared in multiple outlets, including entertainment and business-focused outlets, with reiterations of Greenfield’s claim that Unilever had overshadowed the brand’s independent voice on social issues. While some reports highlighted ongoing discussions about the brand’s corporate arrangement, others quoted Greenfield’s emphasis on justice and equality as guiding principles he could not abandon.
