Alternatives:
One alternative to the issue is that Samsung would build its own supplying company, in which it holds control of the whole supply chain, and that is to ensure that no valuation occur on any level of the supply chain. To explain further, Samsung found out that the company based in Africa that supplies them with cobalt use children as labor in mines to extract cobalt. Here, Samsung is concerned not only with ending its contract with the unethical suppliers, but also with eliminating child labor as much as possible. Thus, Samsung would acquire Huayou Cobalt, the cobalt supplying company, to insure that no labor abuses of any kind occur. This alternative will give Samsung the opportunity to control everything that has to do with the raw materials, while keeping direct observation on the offshore activities that occur within the supply chain. This alternative will prevent the hiring of children without the knowledge of Samsung, and it will portray Samsung as an ethically responsibly company.
