Board churn at Ben & Jerry’s: Three directors on the way out, chair Mittal ousted

Ben & Jerry's introduced new governance rules with nine-year term limits, leading to the ousting of board chair Anuradha Mittal and two other long-serving directors. The changes come after Ben & Jerry's spinoff from Unilever to The Magnum Ice Cream Company, now the world's largest standalone ice cream firm. The Ben & Jerry's Foundation faces scrutiny over financial controls, with its $5 million annual funding at risk amid disputes over governance and board independence.
