Business Reimagined: Should Firms Have a Purpose Beyond Profit? (Ben & Jerry’s Ben Cohen)

Ben Cohen, it is such a pleasure and a privilege talking to you. Thank you so much for giving us some of your very precious time. Great to be here with you, Amol.

Se todellisuus on se, että sinun yrityksesi ei koskaan saa 100 prosenttia markkinajärjestelmää. Ben & Jerry's saattaa olla 5 prosenttia puolustuksesta, joka kulkee meidän tuotteita. Se on tarpeeksi. Se on miljoonan dollarin yritys. Se on mahtavaa. Joten sinä et vaikuta kaikkeen, mutta niitä ihmisiä, joita voit vaikuttaa, ovat erittäin vahvasti liittyviä.

The future Ben Cohens. I mean, you look, except for your crutches, you look very fit and healthy. You've got many years of activism ahead of you, thank goodness.

You just fundamentally think they're not. That's correct. Is your position now that you think, because you're a champion of ethical capitalism, are you saying to people who are listening to you now, who look up to you, don't buy Ben & Jerry's? Are you asking for a boycott of Magnum products?

They claim to have illegally removed all of the independent board members. Saying that they can appoint an independent director is kind of an oxymoron. The whole idea is that the board is independent of Magnum. So when they say that they're fully committed to Ben & Jerry's continued success and its three-part mission, economic, product and social,
