Ben & Jerry's West Bank Workaround, ESG Backfire
Unilever has announced a workaround to continue selling Ben & Jerry's ice cream in the West Bank by selling the business interests to an Israeli manufacturer. This follows a year of controversy and divestment by several U.S. states after Ben & Jerry's attempted to boycott the region. The hosts view this as a failure of "ESG" (Environmental, Social, and Governance) activism and a victory for Israeli officials.
