Skeletons in their closet and actively using slave labor are very different things, not that I blame you entirely, it's not your fault companies like nestle own so fucking much it's impossible to keep track of.
That reminds me, we gotta add fucknestle to lemmy.
Nestle actually have done a lot. Amnesty report shows they are one of the most ethical companies now.
How much did they pay you to say that?
The latest thing I saw from Amnesty International about Nestle was praise for Nestle for publicly announcing unprompted that they had found slavery in their supply chain . Is that how low the bar is to be "the most ethical", or is there an actual report making this claim?
If you don't find slavery in your supply chain once in a while you are probably not even looking. Finding it is the first step to elimination.
So do I, do yourself a favor and find a local candy or chocolate shop. They'll probably have something that is basically the same thing but vastly superior and not nestle. I know you're just being a troll at this point but seriously do.
Wasn't trying to, have a good night man.
It's a bit different to grab a snack at the counter (that's likely partly produced in your country) than wait 1-2 months for a product to even arrive. Call it a convenience factor or whatever.
That said, I don't know what kind of labor AliExpress goods use. Haven't used them for a couple years but if I knew for sure (maybe someone here knows?) they used slave labor for example I probably would just choose to use some other company (which probably is just as likely to have unethical practices in some point of their supply chain tbf).
Sure I agree to a degree but choosing a product which you know uses 100% slave labor to save a penny is downright evil. (And this is exaggeration obviously before anyone butts in.)
