The 3 R's; Reduce, Re-use & Recycle! In the "Gas Station" days all our ice cream was made using a nineteenth century rock and salt maker. Our biggest environmental impact was probably Ben's clapped out VW. As we've grown, we've been tracking our energy use, chemical use, packaging and waste for years.

Being a frozen product does give us challenges on packaging.

Lean & Green is the new cool! We at Ben & Jerry's take our environmental hoofprint seriously - we've always been committed to making the best possible ice cream in the nicest possible way, which is why we're super delighted to be able to use a shiny new generation of cabinets that use less energy! Say hello to our "Lean & Green" freezers.

Yes, we're suitable for Veggies! All Ben & Jerry's ice creams are suitable for Vegetarians, i.e. we do not use any meat products, including gelatine, etc.
