Fulfill the pledge

A Girl Scout saw a contradiction between her pledge to make the world a better place and her task of selling cookies.

Girl Scout cookies contain palm oil, which has been linked to child labor and climate change. From her perspective, selling these cookies couldn’t possibly make the world a better place, so she decided to make and sell her own palm-oil-free cookies (and give the profits to her local troop).

If your organization asked you to engage in activities that contradicted its values, how would you respond?
