Ben & Jerry's has signed on to sponsor the Inaugural Summit of One Young World in London from February 8th-10th, sending five of our finest employees to attend.

As a global platform of young people, it will give them the opportunity to associate themselves with a very future-facing, socially-aware event, and allow them to contribute those learnings back into the every-day business of our company.

Clara Casanova - Brand Exec. Ben & Jerry's, Spain

If there is something Clara has learned in 25 years, is that there is always something we can do. As a child she remembers wanting to take a blanket to a homeless person, but was too little to cross the street alone. In high school, she learned that there were millions of children in South America that needed to be taught to read, but was still too young to travel the world. Once attending University, she decided to go to Guatemala and cooperate on a project and put into practice all she had learned in 5 years of studies. Now, working for Ben & Jerry’s gives her the opportunity to meet courageous and revolutionary people, or just other anonymous dreamful young ladies like herself. She believes that everyone’s small actions can make a big differences.
