Shoppers often don't know.. blame the companies not the individual shoppers. This should be regulated top down.. heavy handed... Like chuck a CEO in prison if it comes to light his company sold stuff made by slave labor while he was in charge.. see how fast this stuff will end.
Same as the bosses and higher ups of shell from the 70s and 80s that suppressed their climate reports.. these guys should be hailed in front of a Nuremberg style tribunal.. with similar outcomes. They knowingly poisoned all of us... For profit...
First thing about this. Force companies to audit their supply chains. Ignorance is NOT an excuse... Because then "not looking" is the tactic.
most cases, the companies are not ignorant – Nestlé got out of a child slavery case because they claimed nothing happened on US soil (while their PR campaign said their chocolate would be much more expensive if they had to audit for child slavery)
