Balancing Business and Environmental Responsibility


Imagine you work in the transport industry, responsible for moving people and goods from one place to another. A big company approaches you with a sustainability campaign, asking you to transport plants and people to a location for a tree plantation drive. This opportunity brings excitement because it's a significant business opportunity for you.

However, during a conversation with your family, your daughter raises an important concern. She questions whether it's right to contribute to environmental pollution through truck emissions when the goal is to plant trees. You begin to see the validity of her point. After all, as a transport business, emitting pollutants is unavoidable.

Now, you find yourself facing a dilemma. On one hand, participating in the campaign can bring financial success and growth for your business. On the other hand, you are aware of the potential harm caused by emissions to the environment, which contradicts the purpose of the tree plantation drive.

Should you prioritize the business opportunity and accept the transport request, knowing that it contributes to pollution? Or should you decline the offer, aligning with your daughter's concerns and acting in line with environmental responsibility?
