“Their commitment has enabled Fairphone to start having a positive impact throughout the value chain of consumer electronics, namely mining, designing, manufacturing and cycle life. The first step of the company was to prove that it is possible to combine social values and profitability to improve business practices. With these first sales and ongoing support of the community, Fairphone is now about to increase its impact and influence with the creation of its own original design, “says the group.
The unit can also be removed to allow its owner
to repair itself the most part subject to breakage, especially
screen, camera, speaker and the receiver, in order to push its obsolescence.
“This new design approach allows Fairphone to enjoy a better view of its supply chain and increase its transparency and positive social impact. This includes a better use, control and traceability of reinforced materials, the ability to select and build stronger relationships with individual suppliers (secondary) and the opportunity to increase its influence on the processes of production, “it said in a statement.
