I'm no marketing genius, but I'm willing to bet that notions of socially responsible spending are not usual among the relevant class of consumers of this brand.

Just a hunch, you know, because if you want to pay $500 for a pair of flip flops or a t-shirt, then "spending where it matters" is kind of beside the point to an absurd extent in the first place.
