Fairphone

We make technology with a purpose—designed to last longer, perform better, and make a real impact.

Fairphone develops and manufactures sustainable smartphones and accessories designed to be long-lasting and environmentally responsible. Their product line includes Android smartphones (The Fairphone Gen. 6), audio devices like Fairbuds XL and Fairbuds, along with accessories such as cables, chargers, cases, screen protectors, and spare parts for easy repairs.

Fairphone was founded with a mission to disrupt the electronics industry by fundamentally changing how devices are built and produced. They believe in creating technology that is fair for both people and the planet, challenging the traditional model of planned obsolescence in the smartphone industry.

The company's impact lies in promoting sustainable consumption and circular economy principles through repairable, long-lasting devices. By offering spare parts and encouraging repairs rather than replacements, Fairphone helps reduce electronic waste and environmental impact. Their approach matters because it demonstrates that technology companies can prioritize sustainability and ethical production while still delivering functional, modern devices to consumers.

Impact model

Fairphone creates environmental and social impact by designing smartphones and electronics with longevity and repairability at their core, directly challenging the industry's throwaway culture. Their business model focuses on providing spare parts, repair services, and trade-in programs that extend device lifecycles and reduce electronic waste.

By promoting device repair over replacement and offering long-lasting products, Fairphone helps consumers reduce their environmental footprint while demonstrating that sustainable technology is commercially viable. Their approach creates a circular economy model where devices are kept in use longer, components are reused, and the overall demand for new raw materials is reduced.
