Fairphone shipments up 42% as emissions intensity falls 18%. Amsterdam-based Fairphone has published its 2025 Impact Report, reporting a 42 per cent rise in phone shipments last year alongside a 7.5 per cent fall in absolute emissions and an 18 per cent drop in Scope 3 emission intensity per phone against its 2022 baseline.
The Fairphone Gen. 6, which launched last year, incorporates over 50 per cent fair and recycled materials by weight and carries a product carbon footprint of 29 kg CO2e, down from 42 kg for the Fairphone 5. Both the Gen. 6 and the Fairbuds XL are sold as e-waste neutral, with the company collecting an equivalent weight of electronic waste for every product shipped.
The report also records improved working conditions for more than 11,000 people across Fairphone's supply chain. The company says it has paid $1.25 million in cumulative living wage bonuses to 1,650 workers at five supplier factories, including $215,000 in 2025.
