It's important to note that some of Ben & Jerry's climate data and targets are cascaded from its parent organisation, Unilever PLC, as indicated by the corporate family relationship. For instance, the SBTi targets are cascaded from Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc., while CDP and other initiatives are linked to Unilever PLC.
