Ben and Jerry’s, Inc., has long been a leader of sustainable business. Their company is committed to making products that support local farmers, and employees of the company are paid a comfortable living wage. Through the PartnerShops program (including the newly opened shop in PSU’s Urban Plaza), young, at-risk adolescents are given an opportunity to gain job experience and skills.
The Vanguard had the honor of speaking to co-founder Jerry Greenfield this week during the MooLandia Olympics that took place at PSU. After scooping ice cream to hungry participants and speaking with students, Greenfield answered a variety of questions relating to his business and the political activism he is involved in.
