Fairphone actually does; their (screen) glass for the Fairphone 2 was from Korning. See https://open.sourcemap.com/maps/57bd640851c05c0a5b5a8be1.

Why did you say they “can't”?

My point is that there are too many components to have complete control over the whole supply chain, so these types of issues will come up and hopefully responded to accordingly. I really appreciate that these sustainable devices exist, and I think they are a huge step forward.

Getting back to the initial comment I made... I think it's important to keep a company like Apple/Google/Samsung honest regarding their attention to their supplier's ethics. A company like Apple is going to be pretty responsive to concerns of worker mistreatment, if presented in an honest way. If we are too quick to incriminate Apple whenever a story like this comes up, it comes off more like we have an agenda against them, especially if we are not vetting the story before expressing outrage.
