Fair for the planet

The Fairphone 5 contains 14 focus materials to ensure they are always sourcing sustainably and fairly. Unique to Fairphone is Fairtrade Gold, a first in the mobile phone industry. Other materials include 100% recycled plastic, ASI-certified aluminium, and IRMA Iron. Together, 70% of the Fairphone 5 is made with fair materials, making it a truly sustainable option in the unethical smartphone market.
Fair for people
Together with their suppliers, Fairphone is making the mobile industry a far fairer place for workers from the beginning and end of the production process. The steps Fairphone have taken for workers include:
- Living wage bonus
- Representation is guaranteed for all workers by their partner Arima providing opportunities and platforms to raise concerns, suggest changes and more.
- SA8000 certification which is amongst the highest standards of safety and fair conditions.
- No child labour and provide assistance to small-scale mining communities to end child labour.
Every new Fairphone user helps to make the smartphone industry a better place.
Future-proof performance

5-year warranty as standard
To support the vision of longevity turning into reality, Fairphone have issued a 5-year warranty for all Fairphone 5 users. Once purchased, your warranty is automatically started, so users can start enjoying the longest-lasting, manufacturer-protected smartphone on the planet.
Modular saves money
The Fairphone 5 has a 10-part modular design which means all the different elements that make up the device can be individually and easily replaced. A broken screen or an ageing battery can be swapped out using just a screwdriver at home with affordable parts from Fairphone.
