In April 2000, Ben & Jerry's sold itself to British multinational food giant Unilever for $326 million ($607 million in 2025 accounting for inflation).[16] In the acquisition agreement, Unilever agreed to carry on the company's tradition of engaging "in these critical, global economic and social missions".[17] Following the acquisition, both founders remained employed at the company, though not in a position of operational or managerial responsibility,[18] though Cohen remained on the governing board of directors.[19]
