Abstract: In 2019, according to the French Working Conditions survey, 31% of workers believe that their work can have “negative consequences for the environment”, including 7% for whom it is “always” or “often” the case. There are two types of environmental ethical conflicts, depending on whether the negative consequences are direct (on-site pollution) or indirect (functional contribution to consumerism and overexploitation of nature). The first (“direct” conflicts) are reported by workers exposed to toxic products, low autonomy, economic and health insecurity at work; the second (“functional” conflicts) are rarer, and mainly concern civil engineering executives, researchers, communication and sales professionals, often working in open space. Environmental ethical conflict fosters interactions with workers representatives. It is also associated with the desire for workers to change their occupation. Its link with mental health depends on the age of the people concerned.
