Places where rule of the land (or lack thereof) already lets this happen is unlikely to change simply from increased margins. Most likely they’ll just pocket the increased profit with no improvement in conditions.

Responsible businesses do full inspections of their supply chains. All the way back to the farms which grow the food.
How about the factories where the fertilizer and pesticide/insecticide is made?

My point is it is unreasonable to expect a business to be able to do the kind of oversight that would require the reach of government agencies.

Taking on that responsibility would make defending against these types of lawsuits significantly harder...
