Balance the conflict by aligning the team member’s expertise with the project's eco-goals, highlighting mutual benefits and exploring solutions that integrate their insights sustainably. Foster open dialogue to ensure collaboration and innovation.

Inicialmente se deben escuchar los diversos puntos de vistas entre los miembros del equipo para la posterior revisión conjunta del estado actual del logro de los objetivos ambientales mediante indicadores de gestión, identificando las coincidencias y diferencias en el equipo a través del dialogo asertivo basado en soluciones con criterios de ingeniería, investigación y normatividad ambiental vigente, lo anterior, con respeto, empatía, tolerancia y responsabilidad.

Strange conflict. Let’s do an example. If the person’s expertise is driving and we have hired them on as a team bus driver, yet the Eco goals of my organisation move towards lesser carbon footprint (a bus, mind you, instead of a car is already one step there); then as an organisation I would get that person an electric bus powered by renewable energy. Expert driver (less braking, smooth speed control, etc) + Bus + Renewable energy = Great outlook on Sustainability goals! It’s upto the organisation to leverage on any expertise or skills and provide the right tools plus platform to align with the organisation goals 🤷♂️🙆♂️ Best question yet!

A expertise is a essential part of any team. If I have that then I will respect his thoughts and knowledge, but if this is creating a problem against eco- goals. Then I will deeply discuss the concerning area. So that I could know about the problem on the views of experts and find a proper way forward. This will make a balance and effectiveness of the project.

It's obvious that in a team not everyone will be having similar views. Different minds have different perception. At the end the the project goals are important and teamwork is crucial. Thus open communication accepting and positive taking any criticism it a vital factor. A team need to focus on completion of project with compliance.

desde mi experiencia,para resolver un conflicto entre la experiencia de un miembro del equipo y los objetivos ecológicos del proyecto, iniciemos con un diálogo abierto, explicando la importancia de los objetivos ambientales y escuchando sus perspectivas técnicas. Buscaremos puntos en común para crear soluciones que integren las necesidades ecológicas sin perder el valor técnico que aporta el miembro. Además, hay que consultar con expertos en sostenibilidad para identificar estrategias innovadoras que satisfagan ambos aspectos. Este enfoque colaborativo permitirá lograr un equilibrio efectivo y avanzar hacia los objetivos ecológicos manteniendo el conocimiento especializado del equipo.

In my opinion it takes an open mind to be able to see that any expertise can influence a project positively if focused correctly. You need to be able to step back from whatever issue your dealing with and imagine how best to utilize the expertise that has presented itself to you.

Think to understand and learn from each point of view, will be the most important to do before we navigate into conflict resolution. Often we are listen to reply not to understand Ensure each of us can meet halfway and see the bigger picture of it It does not have to be decided or finalized, it can got through multiple days to allow us to think and reflect

I agree with Rolini Nand "A team need to focus on completion of project with compliance". Expertise & Eco goals can be talked about, only on a "Completed Project". So to put priority wise 1. Client to be taken into confidence 2. Project completion with the needed compliance 3. Eco goals & Expertise can be sorted out with open communication between team members keeping point 1 & 2 in perspective, or else all goes in vain

Conflicts in environmental or sustainability objectives are inherent to projects and initiatives, especially in the private sector. Therefore, the analysis and integration of differences between topics or issues is part of the ESG sustainability strategy. Conflicts between issues must be managed so that both can coexist, if this is best for the project and the organization involved. There will never be an objective or issue that is absolute. Sustainability is complex and should be treated as such.
