Ben & Jerry's, a brand of Unilever, is seen on display in a store in Manhattan, New York City, U.S., March 24, 2022.
While Ben & Jerry's board oversees its social mission, Unilever retained authority over financial and operational decisions when it bought the ice cream company in 2000.
Founded in 1978, Ben & Jerry's has long positioned itself as socially conscious.
It said in July 2021 that selling ice cream in the occupied Palestinian territories was "inconsistent with our values."
In 2022, Unilever sold its interest in Ben & Jerry's operations in Israel.
