Greenfield stated that fear of upsetting those in power has led to the company’s muted voice, prompting his decision to step down after 47 years. He intends to continue advocating for equity and justice outside of ben & Jerry’s. Co-founder Ben Cohen shared Greenfield’s statement and highlighted the significance of maintaining their values.
