Change is in your hands
We are Fairphone. An Amsterdam-based electronics company. We’re disrupting the industry by changing how our devices are built and produced. It’s only fair.
How change works
Our journey
so far
We began as an awareness campaign. Sharing the use of conflict minerals and mining practices in the electronics industry. And, well, the people responded. In 2013, we grew the movement into a business. Idealism drove us. Change keeps us going.
Designed
with care
Whatever you buy, it should be yours to own. What does that mean? Well, you should know what’s on the inside. All of the parts and how it’s made in order to take care of it. And take pride in it.
Quality and care go hand in hand. Thats how we see it. Designed to be long-lasting, the quality we put into our devices shows the care for society and our natural world.
What’s inside your
device
Meet the
makers
All the parts in your device come together to work for you because people made it that way. People with interests, hobbies, and full lives. And they deserve a quality of life that’s enough for them and their families. Without them, there would be no smartphone.
Make an impact
Change takes time. But together, we’re making progress.
With every phone we make, we’re improving sourcing, the environment and recyclability, and working conditions. Buying a Fairphone device means disrupting the electronics industry for the better.

Net Zero by 2045
The biggest promise we can all make is to use our phones longer. That would help reduce the carbon emissions caused by the production, transportation, waste and use of new phones. Our devices are therefore built to last. And as a company, we know we can do even more. That’s why we are committed to achieving net-zero emissions aligned with Science Based Targets by 2045, this includes reducing our emissions by at least 90% and addressing any remaining emissions through certified carbon removal efforts.

OUR IMPACT
There are more phones than people. And behind every device is a complex supply chain. With suppliers, local communities and the wider industry, we work for fairer materials and more responsible practices. Showing the electronics industry that we can do better.
Together we’re disrupting the industry’s short-term thinking that the world can no longer afford. And changing what it means to be “best.”
