Just realized my new line uses leftover fabric from a factory that treats workers poorly

I found a great deal on deadstock material for my spring jackets, but after digging, I learned the mill has bad labor reports. Part of me says using the fabric stops waste, but the other side feels wrong supporting that place. Now I'm torn between cutting costs and sticking to my values. How would you handle this?

Hearing about the factory's bad labor reports is truly shocking.

Shocking stuff... makes you wonder how anyone sleeps at night running that place.

Man, my friend Laura had this exact problem last year. She ended up returning the whole shipment, even though it hurt her wallet bad. Said sleeping at night was worth more than cheap fabric.
