Under the Ethical Trading Initiative standards when we find out a supplier isn’t in line with those standards we don’t just pull away. We attempt to engage with the supplier and work with that supplier to improve conditions so they are in line with the Ethical Trading Initiative standards.

By engaging with the supplier, the supplier has an incentive to improve conditions so the end result is better than if we had pulled away.
Yeah, that's really hypocritical of them.
Seems to me like it'd make a lot more sense to check out the people you're buying stuff from before you do it, if you care, but whatever helps 'em sleep at night.
