Fairtalks #3: How much does a miner earn?
Long before we made a single phone, Fairphone was working to better understand and improve mineral supply chains. Many years and three phones later, we’re still focusing on our mission of driving important materials projects and pioneering research that has a positive impact on how materials are sourced, used and reused – improving both environmental factors and the lives of those working with these materials. For the third episode of our Fairtalks podcast, we sat down with two researchers from a study on artisanal tin mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC): Guillaume de Brier and Angela Jorns take the time to talk us through the day in the life of tin miners and how decisions made in the electronics industry, even down to the level of every consumer, have an impact on their livelihoods.
