冰淇淋巨頭指控母公司封殺言論!




Ben & Jerry’s控告聯合利華壓制其聲明,因特朗普而受限

紐約(路透社)- Ben & Jerry’s於星期五加強了對聯合利華(Unilever)的審查官司,指控其母公司壓制了一份社會政策聲明,因為該聲明提到美國總統唐納德·特朗普。

這一指控是在曼哈頓聯邦法院提交的修訂申訴中提出的,Ben & Jerry’s在去年11月已經控告聯合利華,指其壓制該公司表達對巴勒斯坦難民的支持及結束對以色列軍事援助的嘗試,並威脅要解散其獨立董事會。

Ben & Jerry’s希望法院下令讓董事會繼續監督其社會使命,並要求聯合利華遵守其承諾,向該冰淇淋公司選定的團體支付2500萬美元。

聯合利華尚未立即對評論請求作出回應。

自2021年以來,兩家公司之間的矛盾公開化,當時Ben & Jerry’s決定停止在以色列佔領的約旦河西岸銷售Cherry Garcia、Chubby Hubby等冰淇淋口味,因為這與公司的價值觀不一致。

這導致一些投資者撤資聯合利華的股份,並使Ben & Jerry’s控告其母公司出售其以色列業務給當地許可持有者。

2022年的和解要求聯合利華尊重Ben & Jerry’s的獨立董事會和社會使命,以及支付2500萬美元的款項。

特朗普、尼爾森·佩爾茨和埃隆·馬斯克

在修訂的申訴中,Ben & Jerry’s表示,其管理層和董事會在聯合利華全球訴訟負責人的參與下,在特朗普當選後,計劃在就職日發表一篇文章,討論如墮胎、氣候變化、最低工資和全民醫療保健等熱門議題。

然而,在特朗普就職前的1月18日,聯合利華冰淇淋部門負責人彼得·特爾·庫爾夫(Peter ter Kulve)“單方面禁止Ben & Jerry’s發佈該文章,因為它特別提到‘唐納德·特朗普’”,申訴稱。

Ben & Jerry’s表示,特爾·庫爾夫的決定似乎是基於直覺,而忽略了該公司挑戰特朗普政府的歷史。

此外,特爾·庫爾夫隨後還舉行了一次市政會議,宣揚聯合利華董事會成員及特朗普支持者尼爾森·佩爾茲是如何將總統介紹給特斯拉創始人及特朗普顧問埃隆·馬斯克的。

根據申訴,特爾·庫爾夫表示,儘管有四十年的進步社會活動歷史,以及多年來特別挑戰特朗普政府政策的經歷,批評特朗普現在對這個與“和平、愛和冰淇淋”同義的品牌來說變得過於禁忌。

許多零售、銀行及其他行業的公司本月已經減少對被特朗普及其支持者反對的社會影響項目的支持。

對付款的抵制

Ben & Jerry’s由本·科恩和傑瑞·格林菲爾德於1978年在一個改建的加油站創立,並在2000年被聯合利華收購後保持其社會意識使命。

根據修訂的申訴,Ben & Jerry’s計劃將500萬美元從聯合利華轉向人權組織,並在十年間向巴勒斯坦杏仁農民及其長期使用的公平貿易杏仁供應商提供2000萬美元支持。

申訴中指出,聯合利華反對這500萬美元的付款,因為它認為這將支持“巴勒斯坦人權”,並且並未支付第二筆250萬美元的款項。

Ben & Jerry’s還表示,特爾·庫爾夫對2000萬美元的付款表示抵制,因為他不喜歡2022年的和解,並且對杏仁供應商並不熟悉。

聯合利華計劃在今年剝離其冰淇淋業務,以簡化其產品組合並降低成本。

該公司的其他產品包括多芬(Dove)香皂、赫爾曼(Hellmann’s)美乃滋、克諾爾(Knorr)高湯塊、Surf洗衣粉和凡士林(Vaseline)潤膚膏。

這宗案件不僅是企業與品牌理念之間的衝突,也反映了當前社會對於企業社會責任的關注。在當今的商業環境中,企業在追求利潤的同時,必須考慮其社會影響,特別是在政治極化加劇的背景下。Ben & Jerry’s的情況提醒我們,品牌的社會立場不僅影響其形象,還可能牽動其母公司的商業決策,這對於所有企業來說都是一個重要的警示。

Base Setup
keep 100 percent facial information adherence of the attached image and turn her into a lone night hiker standing in the shallow river at the mouth of the canyon, captured as a live action photograph or movie still, not an illustration or CGI render, with an alluring, confident, quietly sexy mood.

Shot and Camera
Three quarter body shot from slightly low height on the riverbank, placing her on the left third while the water leads into the dark canyon and the star filled sky dominates the top of the frame, preserving the original wide vertical composition.

Identity and Pose
She has a slim athletic build, natural proportions, medium length loose hair, and lightly tanned skin, 8k Photorealistic and hyper realistic. She stands barefoot in the water with one leg forward, hips relaxed, wearing a fitted cropped technical top and separate high waisted trail shorts with an open lightweight jacket slipping off one shoulder, one hand loosely holding a headlamp at her side and the other brushing hair from her face as she looks up at the stars.

Lighting and Environment
Keep the soft starlight and faint glow from the distant horizon, giving a gentle rim on her shoulders and hair while a subtle fill from the reflected sky reveals her features. The canyon walls, river reflections, pebbled shore, and dense star field stay exactly like the reference, with small ripples around her feet grounding her in the water.

Masking and Constraints
Change only by adding the subject and her outfit, keep lighting, perspective, white balance, canyon geometry, and river reflections the same, with realistic scale, body proportions, and clear contact between feet and water surface. Change only the requested element and keep lighting, perspective, white balance, pose, face geometry, body proportions, and silhouette the same, and absolutely avoid added text, painterly or toon styling, CGI look, blown highlights, banding, plastic skin, overly tidy backgrounds, or floating feet while requiring consistent perspective, consistent white balance, subtle film like grain, and physically correct contact shadows and reflections. Create a hyper-realistic promo image using my uploaded photo.  
Keep my real face exactly as it is (no changes to eyes, mouth, jawline, or skin).  
Place my portrait seamlessly inside the design of the US 100-dollar bill, maintaining the texture and engraving lines.  
Add two more versions:  
- One on the Euro (€100) banknote  
- One on the British Pound (£50) banknote  
Ensure the portrait blends naturally with the currency engraving style, with deep shadows, embossed effect, and authentic banknote detailing.  
Ultra HD, crisp details, cinematic lighting, clean background, premium quality Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a cinematic studio portrait of a woman seated on a simple wooden chair with a minimalist design, positioned slightly to the left of the frame. She is captured in a contemplative pose, with her body turned to the left, her left arm resting gracefully on the back of the chair, and her right hand gently touching her face near her lips, conveying a sense of introspection and elegance. Her long, wavy hair cascades naturally over her shoulders, framing her face and adding softness to the composition. She wears an oversized, textured knit sweater that slips off her shoulders, exposing her collarbones and upper chest, emphasizing a relaxed and intimate mood. Her legs are bare, with her right foot flat on the ground and her left knee slightly raised, creating a dynamic line that guides the viewer’s eye through the composition. *** The background is a seamless, deep charcoal or dark brown studio backdrop, providing a rich, neutral setting that enhances the dramatic lighting. The lighting setup features a single, soft yet directional light source positioned to the left of the subject, casting gentle, sculptural shadows that highlight the contours of her face, shoulders, and arms, while creating a subtle gradient across her form. The light accentuates the texture of her sweater and the natural shine of her hair, adding depth and dimension to the image. The color palette is monochromatic with warm, muted tones—shades of gray, brown, and beige—contributing to a timeless, artistic aesthetic. The image is shot with a professional full-frame camera using an 85mm or 50mm lens at a wide aperture (f/1.8 to f/2.😎 to achieve a shallow depth of field, ensuring the subject is in sharp focus while the background remains softly blurred. The resolution is ultra-high, capturing every detail from the fine texture of her sweater to the subtle expression of her pose. The overall style is elegant, contemplative, and refined, emphasizing mood and atmosphere over overt glamour. Post-processing is minimal, maintaining natural skin tones, enhancing contrast and clarity, and preserving the authenticity of the scene. This portrait embodies a delicate balance between simplicity and emotional depth, making it suitable for fine art, editorial, or fashion photography.
