Nous sommes fiers d'annoncer notre nouveau partenariat avec /e/ Foundation pour un système d'exploitation open-source qui donne la priorité au respect de la vie privée des utilisateurs.

Nous avons discutés avec le fondateur de /e/ Foundation , Gael Duval, et le directeur du marketing et des opérations, Alexis Noetinger, pour discuter de l'importance de la sécurité des données pour les utilisateurs finaux, ainsi que pour notre société!

Long before we made a single phone, Fairphone was working to better understand and improve mineral supply chains. Many years and three phones later, we’re still focusing on our mission of driving important materials projects and pioneering research that has a positive impact on how materials are sourced, used and reused – improving both environmental factors and the lives of those working with these materials.

For the third episode of our Fairtalks podcast, we sat down with two researchers from a study on artisanal tin mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC): Guillaume de Brier and Angela Jorns take the time to talk us through the day in the life of tin miners and how decisions made in the electronics industry, even down to the level of every consumer, have an impact on their livelihoods.

Chances are you’ve grown increasingly aware of data security over the past few years; this isn’t just about protecting your email password or credit card number anymore. We’ve seen first hand, in real-time, the cost of intensive data extraction on our society. From the Cambridge Analytica scandal to new concerns over coronavirus contact-tracing apps, these abstract data-mining forces are changing how we shop, eat, socialize, think, vote, live.

So we're proud to announce our new partnership with /e/ Foundation for an open-source operating system that prioritizes user privacy.

We sat down with /e/ founder Gael Duval and marketing & operations manager Alexis Noetinger to discuss the importance of data security for individual users, as well as society as a whole.

Welcome back, everyone! Episode 2 of our Fairtalks podcast and we've got a good one for you: Where better to start than at the very beginning, with the guy who kicked it all off?

We're jumping into 2020 with Fairphone's origin story - from only existing as an ideal and on a business card, to our very first trip to the mines in the Congo and the rollercoaster ride of trying to change the electronics industry from within.

Our founder Bas van Abel shares his unique perspective from behind the scenes of a growing social enterprise, as we discuss how we made it from humble beginnings to Fairphone 3.

We really see a lot of potential in taking this podcast format further than our little recording studio in the office. As we dig deeper, we’ll include our community each step of the way. So here is your chance to let us know what are your burning questions and where would you like to see this podcast go over the next few episodes.

All the best,
Jan & Miquel.

We're proud to introduce our new podcast 🎙💡

Here at Fairphone, we're out to change the electronics industry - Because we really believe that care for people and planet should be a natural part of doing business. Together with an amazing network of changemakers, we're disrupting a short-term way of thinking that the world can no longer afford.

Join our host Miquel for a series of conversations with inspiring change-makers. We'll bring you a little closer to our world, diving into all the ins and outs of making the electronics industry more sustainable 🙌

For the first episode, Miquel sat down with someone who knows a thing or two about longevity and repair: iFixit Europe's CEO, Matthias Huisken. Over the course of about half an hour, the conversation twists, turns, and goes to some unexpected places - covering everything from e-waste, the right to repair, and even interplanetary travel.

As we dig deeper, we’ll include our community each step of the way.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on our conversation with Matthias, feedback on our first episode, and who you’d like to hear from in upcoming podcasts.
