Ben & Jerry’s accuses Unilever of firing its CEO for political reasons

In the filing, Ben & Jerry’s said Unilever, its parent company, had fired CEO David Stever because of his commitment to the company’s social mission rather than his job performance. The post Ben & Jerry’s accuses Unilever of firing its CEO for political reasons appeared first on Boston.com.



Ben & Jerry's accuses parent company Unilever in a court filing of firing CEO David Stever for prioritizing the ice cream maker's social mission and political stances, rather than his job performance, and without the approval of Ben & Jerry's board. Ben & Jerry's claims Unilever threatened Stever to silence the brand's activism and that Stever's firing violates a 2000 merger agreement allowing Ben & Jerry's an independent board. The lawsuit stems from a previous complaint where Ben & Jerry's accused Unilever of censorship related to its support for Palestinian refugees.
