The Häagen-Dazs Rose Project is our heartfelt global initiative to support women at all levels, in honour of our inspirational yet unsung female co-founder Rose Mattus.
Rose broke glass ceilings with her pioneering marketing approach and business knowledge to shape Häagen-Dazs into the brand that we know and love today, but she largely went unsung alongside her husband Reuben, known for making our flavours. That was until we told her story on International Women’s Day 2023 and launched The Häagen-Dazs Rose Project as her legacy.
The Rose Project, now in its second year, has continued to support unsung women around the world from your nominations.
From all of the nominations across the globe, five incredible women have been chosen by an inspirational all-female global panel of judges and awarded an equal share of our $100,000 USD bursary to continue their trailblazing endeavours. The winners are Faith Ida, Judit Giró Benet, Lorna Phillip, Dr Nirja Joshi and Philomena Nwajagu.
