Ben & Jerry's is wholly owned and controlled by Unilever, a British company. And the largest shareholder in Unilever is Blackrock with 8.5% shareholding. Boycott Unilever products and write to the Chairman, Ian Keith Meakins, at investor.relations@unilever.com or 100 Victoria Embankment, EC4Y 0DY. If enough people used their purchasing power these companies would get the message.
The old Blackrock canard again. No, Blackrock does not own 8.5% of Unilever. Mutual funds managed by Blackrock own significant shareholdings in every quoted company in the world, because Blackrock, along with Vanguard, are the world’s two biggest providers of low cost index tracking funds. The owners of these funds are the world’s investors, including millions of small investors through their pension funds, not the manager of the funds.
Well, I wouldn't touch Blackrock with a barge pole, nor B&J icecream, but Unilever produce such a vast array of products that I would be hard put to boycott them all.
B&J’s were also one of the first company’s to offer support to the BLM/Antifa organisation so not to be trusted.
