Fairphone scores 64/100 (Leading practice) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places Fairphone joint 3rd of 809 companies scored, and 1st of 33 in Electronics / Hardware.
Fairphone has built genuine climate and circularity credentials: 48% absolute emissions cuts since 2022, SBTi-validated net-zero targets, 100% e-waste neutrality, and third-party audited KPIs. Weaknesses are real: supply chain renewable energy covers only key production steps, water footprint remains unquantified, and nature impact assessment is still risk-mapping rather than verified reduction outcomes.
