Uses conflict-free materials

Fairphone carries the credits of being the first electronic manufacturer to integrate Fairtrade gold into the supply chain. The company is setting up an initiative to make cobalt sourcing better. The Fairphone 3 from the company is made of responsibly sourced and conflict-free tungsten, tin, recycled copper and plastics. To combat e-waste, Fairphone supports collection programs in markets such as Ghana and rewards buyers for using its recycling program to return their used phones.

Fairphone CEO Eva Gouwens sums up the company’s goals for the Fairphone 3 said, “We envision an economy where consideration for people and the planet is a natural part of doing business and according to this vision, we have created scalable ways to improve our supply chain and product. We developed the Fairphone 3 to be a real sustainable alternative on the market, which is a big step towards lasting change. By establishing a market for ethical products, we want to motivate the entire industry to act more responsibly since we cannot achieve this change alone.”
