Sustainable development of fairphone

How do you make a fairer phone?

We believe that care for the environment and people should be a natural part of doing business throughout our industry. With suppliers, local communities and the wider industry, we work for fairer materials and more responsible practices – one step at a time.

Together we're disrupting a short-term way of thinking that the world can no longer afford.

Creating products that last

We design for longevity, easy repair, and modular upgrades. Our goal is to make your phone's hardware last as long as possible, and to provide the support to keep its software up to date. The longer you can keep your phone, the smaller its environmental footprint.

Reducing e-waste

We want to make the most of the materials used in consumer electronics. We're moving one step closer to a circular economy by encouraging the reuse and repair of our phones, researching electronics recycling options and reducing electronic waste worldwide.

Choosing fairer materials

We go straight to the source to make sure we're creating positive change. One material at a time, we're working to incorporate fairer, recycled, and responsibly mined materials in our phones – to increase industry and consumer awareness.

Putting people first

We're innovating ways to improve job satisfaction for workers in the industry. Together with our suppliers, we're listening to workers and creating better working conditions with employee representation, income and growth opportunities for all.
