Jerry Greenfield, co-founder of Ben & Jerry's, has stepped down after nearly five decades at the ice cream company. His decision was revealed on 17 September 2025 in a letter shared publicly by his longtime business partner Ben Cohen.
Greenfield described the move as one of the most difficult choices of his life. The resignation follows an escalating conflict with Unilever, the multinational consumer goods group that owns Ben & Jerry's, over the handling of the brand's activism.
