Unilever Cuts Millions in Funding to Ben & Jerry’s Foundation Over Audit Refusal and Pro-Palestinian Donations

Unilever has decided to cut off millions of dollars in funding to the Ben & Jerry's charitable foundation after the ice cream brand refused to provide audit documents regarding its donations to pro-Palestinian groups. This move escalates ongoing tensions between Unilever and its subsidiary, which have been fueled by disagreements over Ben & Jerry's activism related to the Gaza conflict. Reports indicate that the charitable foundation was quietly funding radical pro-Hamas groups, which contributed to Unilever's decision to halt financial support. The dispute highlights broader corporate conflicts over political activism and transparency within subsidiaries.
