Unilever's parent company has allegedly silenced Ben & Jerry's advocacy for Palestinian rights, breaking an agreement to let the subsidiary pursue its social mission.
The legal documents filed by Ben & Jerry's claim that Unilever has prevented them from advocating for ceasefire in Gaza and publicly supporting Palestinian refugees.
According to Unilever's ice cream business head, actions taken were due to fears of antisemitism, complicating the brand's long-standing commitment to social justice.
Unilever's spokesperson stated, 'We reject the claims made by B&J's social mission board', emphasizing the company's intent to vigorously defend its actions.
