Ben & Jerry’s new board term limits ousted three longtime directors, sparking conflict over the brand’s activist mission post-spinoff.
Ben & Jerry’s has implemented a nine-year term limit for board members, resulting in the departure of three long-serving directors, including chair Anuradha Mittal, amid tensions following its 2024 spinoff from Unilever into The Magnum Ice Cream Company.
The changes, aimed at improving governance, come after disputes over the brand’s social mission and financial controls at its foundation, which receives $5 million annually.
Co-founders, particularly Ben Cohen, criticize the move as an effort to undermine the brand’s activist legacy, while Magnum asserts the reforms strengthen oversight.
The foundation’s future funding is under review.
