At some point maybe stop outsourcing and just do the work.

Boeing used to make airplanes. Now they outsource the work of "make the airplanes" and all it cost them was their reputation.

Less outsourcing, more just doing the work please.

Ok, so you expect the airline to mine the ore to make the tools needed to mine the ore needed to make the aluminum used in the packaging of the snacks they give out on board?

Think about exactly where this ends.

There is a difference between ordering specialist work (i.e. someone makes something to your exact specifications) and buying ore on a global market.

But sure, even in case of ore you have a responsibility to make sure it isn't being delved by slave labour.

Even when you “stop outsourcing and just do the work”, you’re just subtracting a ~4 bit integer from a ~16 bit integer.
