Know-the-Chain's scorecard for food giant Unilever says approvingly that the company is "disclosing more information on its forced labor policies and practices than its peers across all themes". When looking at the actual supplier lists the company provides, it shows how low the bar is: it will have company names but no contact details, adressess, not even the country in all cases. Having for instance rainforest alliance certification codes available would also be a great help in verifying claims made. Finding the supplier lists took some googling as well, although they all seemed to be linked from this page.
Smartphones are intricate products made up of thousands of different components. Each of these parts comes from different suppliers and contain a wide variety of materials. As a result, our supply chain includes mines, smelters, refiners and different tiers of manufacturers that span the entire globe. While it may seem like an impossible task, step by step, we are mapping our supply chain to understand exactly what goes into our phone and where it comes from. By learning more about the hundreds of actors and locations involved in our smartphone supply chain, we can take an informed approach to making a difference. For Fairphone, that goes beyond audits, assessments and compliance. For example, it includes sourcing from more responsible mines and actively connecting them to our supply chain. It also means finding and engaging with suppliers that share our values and initiating improvement programs at the factories and beyond.
