levels social bigs
It's pretty rare to have CEOs or high level executives at big companies who are social activists. They tend not to be drawn to those areas of life.
speaks-out issues political
I like that Ben & Jerry's is willing to speak out about social and political issues that aren't always safe - but are the right thing to do.
alienate believe business businesses companies extremely money potential rare stand values
The reality is that most companies are not about any values at all - they are about making money. It is extremely rare for a business to stand for anything because most businesses don't want to alienate potential customers, and if you believe in anything you are going to alienate someone.
