Has Costco ever commented on its suppliers/sustainabillity or ethicality in this context?

Sadly no, so it’s likely opaque intentionally, for reasons.
Costco always enforces strict opacity on it's vendors as a trade secret - it allows them to negotiate from a position of power with fairly large players as well as preventing competitors like Walmart from potentially undercutting Costco by forcing an exclusivity deal or price war.
