In the filing, the trendy ice cream brand alleged that Unilever fired David Stever from a job he had held since 2023 because of his commitment to the company’s social mission, BBCreported.
“Unilever has repeatedly threatened Ben & Jerry’s personnel, including C.E.O. David Stever, should they fail to comply with Unilever’s efforts to silence the social mission,” Ben & Jerry’s filing read.
