Aren’t they the same sweatshop slave-labor factory goods though?
Not that it’s possible to completely avoid goods which are made via exploitation, but I assumed they’re just an alternate outlet / search page for the same distributors and factories.
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.
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?
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.
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).
Like I said, highly doubt you can avoid companies that have shady practices of some form. Whether people like my opinion or not, I just simply do not care anymore. It is what it is, people won’t always agree with you in life. No point in dwelling on it, I don’t have the time to.
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.)

Probably. I’ve never used temu tbh but my understanding is it tries to present itself as not.
I doubt one can really truly avoid buying from a company that doesn’t have some kind of skeletons in their closet. I just stopped caring.

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?

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.
I gotta admit, I love me a good nestle crunch bar.

I’m a troll for sharing a different opinion to others? Whatever they wanna label me as that’s their choice I guess. Doesn’t change my feelings.
Wasn’t trying to, have a good night man.
You too
