There is little in VRAI’s small Dublin office to suggest it makes military tools. An electric bicycle is parked in the corner, there are croissants on the table and Lego models arranged on shelves. The company has “three bottom lines”, a staff member explains. “When we’re doing business, we’re not only making decisions based on what’s going to make the biggest profit. We’re also making decisions that means what’s the right thing to do by people and what’s the right thing to do by the planet.”
