Vodafone has announced a partnership with Fairphone in Europe to offer the Fairphone 3 smartphone.
The handset will be available on Vodafone in UK, Germany, Italy, Spain and Ireland by the end of the year.
Vodafone Group Chief Commercial Operations & Strategy Officer Ahmed Essam said: “At Vodafone, we’re working hard to build a digital future that works for everyone and this strategic partnership between Vodafone and Fairphone brings together our expertise as Europe’s leading and largest converged technology communications company with the recognised expert in sustainable smartphones.”
Fairphone CEO, Eva Gouwens said: “Fairphone is showing that there is a market for more ethical phones to inspire the rest of the industry to produce more ethically. Working with a large operator such as Vodafone helps to bring sustainable electronics to the mainstream market and therefore this is one of the strongest signals we can send to the rest of the industry.”
About Fairphone 3
The Fairphone 3 is designed with sustainability and ethical production in mind. It features a modular design, which allows users to easily replace parts such as the battery, screen, and camera, thereby extending the phone’s lifespan and reducing electronic waste. This approach not only benefits the environment but also empowers consumers to take control of their device maintenance.
The phone is constructed using responsibly sourced materials, including Fairtrade gold and recycled plastics. Fairphone’s commitment to fair labor practices ensures that workers involved in the production process are treated ethically and paid fairly. This focus on ethical production sets Fairphone apart in an industry often criticized for its labor practices and environmental impact.

The company has been actively working to reduce its carbon footprint and promote digital inclusion. By offering the Fairphone 3, Vodafone is taking a significant step towards promoting sustainable consumer electronics and encouraging other industry players to follow suit.
The collaboration also highlights Vodafone’s dedication to providing its customers with innovative and ethical technology options. By integrating Fairphone 3 into its product lineup, Vodafone is not only expanding its range of smartphones but also supporting a movement towards more responsible consumption.
