    For the second year in a row, we have sponsored the E-waste race! But this time, in two countries: one in the Netherlands (in Fryske-Marren, organized by Race Against Waste B.V.) and one in Germany (Düsseldorf, organized by Das macht Schule e.V.). The results were amazing! Not only did kids pick up 8,136 items of e-waste in the Netherlands and 13.551 items in Germany, but they also learned about the topic and the importance of properly recycling electronics. Congrats to all participating schools, and a special thanks to our partners! Do you want to know more? Read our blog here: https://lnkd.in/diiUqCzq #EwasteRace #Fairphone

    It is my honor and privilege to announce that Fairphone has won the Koning Willem I Sustainability Entrepreneurship Plaque for 2024. Known as the Oscars of the Dutch business community, the awards are the highest accolade for any Dutch business, more so for a Dutch social enterprise such as Fairphone. This is validation at the highest level of Fairphone's decade-long journey, spearheading change in the electronics industry. This year, Fairphone was in the final along with reusable water bottle maker, Dopper and metal recycling specialists, Myne. We have enormous admiration for what they do. Together, we make the world a better place and set a good example. We would like to continue doing that together, with many opportunities for collaboration in sight on our shared journey towards a circular economy. Competing against the greats, in a very complex value chain, showing that things can be done differently and better, by influencing and inspiring large companies and governments to go along and each do their part. Winning this award is truly a world-class achievement for us. Our sincere thanks to jury chairperson, Anne-Marie Rakhorst, Koning Willem I Foundation chair, Klaas Knot, and Her Majesty Queen Maxima for believing in us and supporting our mission. This is only the beginning of course. This award is encouragement enough for us to continue doing what we do, inspiring others to think deeper about repairability, sustainability, and fair labor, and amplifying our impact further. Onwards and upwards! #KoningWillemIPrijs #duurzaam #ondernemerschap

    Today is International Labour Day. There couldn't be a better day to discuss and raise awareness about the need for a living wage for thousands of factory workers across the world. Free access to credible living wage data across industries is critical to realizing living wages around the world. That’s why, as of May 2024, we are very proud to announce our role as one of the funders helping WageIndicator Foundation publish living wage estimates for 2600 regions in 165 countries. The data is freely accessible to any worker, company or union. The data can for example be used in national dialogue on the height of the legal minimum wage. Fairphone uses WageIndicator’s highest living wage estimate to calculate if there is a gap between wages paid to factory workers and living wages. This is something all companies out there who are serious about treating people fairly can actively start doing as well. ➡️ Read more about living wages and our efforts around them here: https://lnkd.in/dr5tc2fa ➡️ You can also tune in to watch the launch live with WageIndicator on May 2 at 3PM CEST.  https://lnkd.in/dhngqdkS
