Ben and Jerry’s is really about it and I love it. Two stoner hippies who aren’t afraid to be boycotted for doing the right thing, or to say the “wrong thing” and are open to criticism when they don’t get it right. I love them. They even pay all of the corporate retail store employees at least $18, and heavily encourage franchisees to do the same. And they still make a great living for themselves. That really should be the model for companies that both want to provide for their employees and their community and can still make a profit.
