Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream began as a small business and has grown into an international corporation. Its mission statement includes provisions about (1) producing a good product for its customers, (2) providing an economic reward (profits) to its shareholders, and (3) fulfilling its social responsibility.
These three goals have no particular order. Ben & Jerry's believes that it should not focus on any one goal but should achieve all three goals. Ben & Jerry's directs 7.5 percent of its pretax profits to a foundation, which donates money to specific charitable organizations.
In another effort to fulfill its social responsibility, Ben & Jerry's works with small businesses, as its owners remember that it was once a small business. It relies on small businesses for some of the materials used in its production process. Ben & Jerry's has proved that it can achieve its economic mission while fulfilling its social mission.
Its social commitment has enhanced Ben & Jerry's reputation, increased its name recognition, and stimulated demand for its ice cream. Thus, the company's social mission has enhanced its profits and therefore is aligned with its economic mission.
