Fairphone is a Dutch company that focuses on developing smartphones with a strong focus on sustainability, ethics and transparency. It was founded in 2013 with the aim of reducing the negative impact of the smartphone industry on the environment and the people who produce the devices. Fairphone strives to make smartphones that last longer, are easier to repair and are less harmful to the environment.

What makes Fairphone unique is that the company tries to improve the supply chain of materials. This means that they try to avoid conflict minerals, such as tin, gold and tantalum, from areas with armed conflict and ensure fair working conditions for the people who mine the materials and assemble the phones. Fairphone also focuses on promoting recycling and the use of recycled materials in their products.
