 🌟 From Humble Beginnings to Sustainable Success! 🌿  It's incredible to reflect on the journey of SmartphonesPLUS – from our humble beginnings working out of a basement to having our own team and warehouse!  It all started with a shared vision to redefine the way electronics are bought and sold. 💡  In the early days, we were just excited making a few extra dollars. But quickly we realized how many people and organizations don't know what to do with their old devices.  📈 Our growth has been remarkable, but what truly excites me is the impact we're making. With each device we buy back and give a new life, we're contributing to a more sustainable future, one gadget at a time.  Looking ahead, I'm excited for what the future holds. With continued innovation and collaboration with others I have no doubt that SmartphonesPLUS will continue to lead towards a more sustainable and tech-forward world. 🌟 Together, let's continue to make a positive impact and inspire change. #Sustainability #Innovation #TechForward

Simply impressive what the Fairphone team has achieved in 2023. True trailblazers in a complex, global and competitive smartphone industry. Have a look at our impact report here: https://lnkd.in/emSpuJhP #changemakers #sustainability #impactreport

Since stepping into my role as CEO of Fairphone a few weeks ago, I’ve been both inspired and amazed by the impact we’ve made in the electronics industry. When Fairphone started, sustainability in the supply chain was barely a consideration. Fast forward to today, and it’s clear the conversation has come a long way—Fairphone has helped spark that shift. But what surprises me most is how much work there is still left to do. Despite all the talk of sustainability, the core of our industry hasn’t really changed. The push for the latest phone still dominates, and we, as consumers, continue to fall for it—even when our current devices are working just fine. It’s astonishing to think that almost 1.5 billion mobile phones are sold worldwide each year, and they last on average only three years. Even more shocking is that only 15% of these phones are collected for recycling, fueling the ever-growing e-waste crisis. What I’ve come to realize is that this disposable mindset—this “make-use-dispose” cycle—is deeply ingrained. It’s driven by outdated business models that prioritize short-term gains over long-term impact. But this approach simply isn’t sustainable. Both business wise as well as environmental wise. It’s clear we need a systemic change, one that is not only driven by innovative companies but also supported by stronger legislation that can guide the industry toward more sustainable practices. If there’s one thing I’ve learned so far, it’s that people want to make better choices—they just need the industry to give them those options. Look at what’s happening in fashion; the awareness around the harm of fast fashion is growing, and consumers are demanding change. We’ve shown that it’s possible to create longer-lasting, repairable, and fairer tech, but the rest of the industry needs to follow. Let’s rethink the way we approach technology—for the sake of our planet and future generations. #SustainableElectronics #Fairphone #EwasteCrisis #RethinkTech #ResponsibleInnovation #CircularEconomy #BetterChoices #TechForGood

🌍 Fairphone, the Dutch sustainable smartphone manufacturer, is entering a new phase of growth with the appointment of Raymond van Eck as CEO, effective August 31st, 2024. Van Eck brings over 20 years of leadership experience in industries such as utilities and digital transformation, with a notable role at Vattenfall. His appointment comes at a time when Fairphone is recognized globally for its achievements, including winning the GLOMO award for Best Mobile Innovation for Climate Action and the Dutch Koning Willem I award for Sustainable Entrepreneurship.  Previous CEO Reinier Hendriks was only appointed in February this year but is set pursue other opportunities.   Biggest challenge for Raymond van Eck is to get Fairphone's unit volume up. With expected sales of merely 175.00 units this year, it is unclear if Fairphone can make a material impact. Having the most sustainable smartphone is clearly a huge achievement. However, that’s not enough. Fairphone needs to improve their global market share fast.   Raymond van Eck’s strategic expertise is expected to guide Fairphone through its next chapter, focusing on scaling operations and continuing the company’s mission to promote sustainable and ethical practices in the smartphone industry. 🌱📱   #Fairphone #SustainableTech #Leadership #Innovation #EthicalBusiness #GreenTech #DigitalTransformation #TechIndustry #FairElectronics
