multi-nations working with suppliers or other stakeholders

: What are the main arguments for and against multi-nations working with suppliers or other stakeholders that may be corrupt or that have unethical agendas? How should you prioritize the stakeholders: based on their power (ability to stop the project), or based on the legitimacy of their interests (e.g. protecting Indigenous peoples)? On reflection, did you have any biases for or against any of the stakeholders, e.g. based on their gender or ethnicity?
