If your support the community, they will support you.

Business can be a source of progressive change.

Look at your business and the activities that you undertake. Then, start to think about not just your economic concerns, but about social and environmental impacts that businesses have.

From Jerry Greenfield

If you open up the mind, the opportunity to address both profits and social conditions are limitless. It's a process of innovation.

From Jerry Greenfield

It's good to stand for something, to believe in something and base your business on values.

From Jerry Greenfield

Recycling, packaging, businesses are changing all of those things because that's what consumers want.

From Jerry Greenfield

So much business is based on the belief that we should do whatever we can within legal limits to make as much money as we can. Ben & Jerry's was based on values, and we try to operate a business that not just sells ice cream but partners with all our stakeholders - whether that's suppliers or customers - to bring about a more sustainable world.

From Jerry Greenfield

We measured our success not just by how much money we made, but by how much we contributed to the community. It was a two-part bottom line.

From Jerry Greenfield

Ice cream is the perfect buffer, because you can do things in a somewhat lighthearted way. Plus, people have an emotional response to ice cream; it's more than just food. So I think when you combine caring, and eating wonderful food, it's a very powerful combination.

From Jerry Greenfield

I guess I harboured hopes that things would happen more quickly, but I'm not disappointed.
