Sure, I just showed you the report, you may draw your own conclusions upon reading it. But in my opinion they’ve long proven to be transparent and actionable when it comes to improving the industry, e.g. by co-founding the Fair Cobalt Alliance. And maybe they even had something to do with those changes in legislation, the EU itself seems to recognise as much…
Probably. I’m not saying that Frairphone is bad and that what they are doing doesn’t have any value. What I’m saying is that their phones were always too expensive for me and now that there are other phones with 7-8 year lifespan on the market it’s even harder to justify the expense. I’m glad that enough people had the money to support Fairphone and I’m grateful for their contribution in changing the legislation. Maybe in 5-6 years, when I have to change my phone, I will get a Fairphone.

“Fairphone has made a tangible impact by improving working conditions for miners and factory workers, increasing the use of fair-trade and recycled materials, and extending product lifespans to combat e-waste. Its advocacy has influenced industry giants and policymakers to adopt fairer, more sustainable practices.”
