“We believe a fairer electronics industry is possible. By making change from the inside, we’re giving a voice to people who cares.”
Monique Lempers -
Chief Impact Officer
We put people first
All the parts in your device come together to work for you because people made it that way. Thousands of them. And they deserve a better quality of life for them and their families. Including sufficient income, a safe workplace, and the opportunity to be heard. Without them, there would be no smartphone.
The main supplier of the Fairphone 5 meets the strictest standards for safe and decent working conditions (SA8000& ISO45001). To make a lasting impact, our approach puts workers and their needs first. Focusing on paying living wages to increase income, and on strengthening worker voice and representation, as well as health& safety.
We’ve expanded our living wage program to also increase the wages of the people who make the components that go into your phone, like the battery or the vibration motor. Supporting our suppliers and their component suppliers to understand the needs of workers. Ultimately, cherishing the many hands that made your phone.

TCO CertifiedClimate conscious
Climate conscious and the Fairphone 5
Climate conscious is an approach to avoiding and reducing carbon emissions by designing products that last, working with our suppliers to reduce our products’ footprint and reinvesting in the planet and projects that put people first. How do we do this?
By designing to last
Let’s face it, the production of a new phone emits a lot of CO2. Which is why we build all our devices - including your Fairphone 5 - to last. Designing for longevity means making a device that’s both modular and well-supported. With a long 5-year hardware warranty and an even longer 8-year software support, it’s easier to hold onto your phone for longer. To get better every time, we’re assessing emissions and other environmental impacts of our products in publicly available life cycle assessments. You can find all finished assessments here.
By working with our suppliers
We’ve partnered with our final assembly and battery manufacturers to implement renewable energy for the production of Fairphone 5. But this is not where we stop. By working with our suppliers to set climate targets we stimulate carbon reduction in our supply chain - beyond Fairphone products. We also stepped up our materials sourcing with your Fairphone 5. Inside your phone is recycled aluminum, magnesium, rare earth elements, tin, nickel, zinc, copper, plastics, and for the first time, indium.
By investing in the planet
Through investing in Gold Standard certified projects in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we’re helping to reduce CO2 emissions while contributing to community-based activities. Our contribution matches the remaining emissions of Fairphone 5’s lifecycle.
