A factory owner can not survive on one customer. What happens if the customer goes out of business, decides to go with their secondary supplier or a new supplier altogether. Factories always have more than one customer and are always keeping alookout. Theres alot of competition from rival factories, not just in China but globally from Mauritius, Bangladesh, Morocco etc etc etc etc. Therefore there is no way you can police how a factory treats its staff if they have different customers etc etc. Sorry. I dont buy into corporate ethics. After all, you are owned by Timberland.
Like I said, lets all wait for the new anti-corporate brand to emerge with brand values intune with free-thinkers and subtle/subliminal-ecospeak 😆
