BenandJerry's Homemade, Inc., has done more than win the tastebuds of America — it has earned the admiration of Wall Street and established a model for business owners and employees eager to earn profits without compromising their principles. In BenandJerry's Double-Dip, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield offer the ultimate insider's guide to creating a values-led business that makes money while benefiting the entire community. Using examples from their own company as well as a host of others, these renowned innovators reveal:

  • How your commitment to worthy social causes will result in unprecedented customer and employee loyalty — and increased profit
  • Practical advice on everything — from hiring employees to choosing suppliers
  • Nuts-and-bolts information on values-led finance, retailing, and human resources

BenandJerry's Double-Dip is essential reading for anyone who owns, works for, invests in, or shops at a socially responsible business.

Review:

Rosabeth Moss Kanter author of World Class: Thriving Locally in the Global EconomyDouble-Dip serves up a charming and wise insider account of how the ice cream kings built a premium brand and a role model, values-driven company. Leaders in businesses of all sizes will find abundant inspiration and dozens of practical suggestions for creating wealth and well-being.

Review:

Anita Roddick founder of The Body Shop I love BenandJerry because they are an inspiration to any business that recognizes a worldwide responsibility. They understand that decisions affect not just economics but people, too.

Review:

Business TimesA very different kind of business book, BenandJerry's Double-Dip shows how a company can win the respect of its community, loyalty of its customers, and healthy profits, too, by addressing social concerns as well as the bottom line.

Anita Roddick

I love BenandJerry because they are an inspiration to any business that recognizes a worldwide responsibility. They understand that decisions affect not just economics but people, too.

Synopsis:

Commercial success need not come at the cost of human value. Just ask Ben and Jerry, whose first ice cream shop in an abandoned Vermont gas station grew into a $160 million business. In this book they explain what they call "value-led business".
