Should You Work With Companies With Opposing Values—On Your Intersections?
On one of the green discussion groups, someone raised the question whether it’s appropriate to work with a company whose mission is at odds with your values—on the parts where your values intersect. So, for example, would a pacifist environmentalist work with a military contractor on a sustainability project?
The discussion came out of this New York Times article about the conflict between green purists and green pragmatists about working with military contractor Lockheed Martin.
I have a very definite opinion on this, and will post it over the weekend—but I’d like to see what others think. Will you please post a comment, below?
