"Am I enabling more work to be done in oil and cigarettes? In my opinion, not really."

Your opinion is not borne out by facts: it is a way of letting you rationalize working for an organization that is corrupt and corrupts other.

On the margins this really isn't true. I know a couple people working on Mckinsey's renewable energy team. They're directly responsible for billions of dollars of solar and wind farm build out that likely wouldn't have happened to anywhere near the same extent if the generators hadn't brought in consultants. I also know someone who was on the Tyson chicken team whose job was to remodel the slaughterhouse so they could fire everyone.

Mckinsey absolutely lets you choose the team you work on, there is zero expectation to work on teams that service immoral industries or companies.

The team is not the problem. The company is the problem. That and rationalizations like the one you deploy here.

Except for management consulting, of course.
