How to navigate ethical sourcing decisions when partners have different risk tolerances

My business partner and I discovered that our main supplier uses conflict minerals and child labor in their supply chain but switching would mean delays and cost increases right when we're trying to scale and we keep putting off the decision because we can't agree on how much financial risk we can take for ethical sourcing.

More people experience this than they realize.
