("TPO", the "Company" or the "Group")
Partnership with Fairphone
The People's Operator (AIM: TPOP), the cause-based commercial
mobile virtual network operator is delighted to announce a
distribution partnership with Fairphone, manufacturers of the
world's first ethical smartphone.
TPO will now be able to offer its customers, in addition to its
innovative and competitive subscription deals, the opportunity to
buy their own smartphone.
The Fairphone handset is manufactured under fairer working
conditions, uses traceable and conflict-free raw materials, and is
the first modular phone on the market, designed for easy repair and
therefore significantly reducing its environmental footprint. It
offers competitive functionality in combination with a unique fair
proposition in the market. There are currently more than 100,000
Fairphone handsets in circulation.
The partnership represents the first step in TPO's drive to
build a network of ethical operators, producers and suppliers to
support its core business proposition.
Monique Lempers, Value Chain and Commercial Director for
Fairphone, said:
"We are truly excited to enter this partnership with TPO, as our
missions, brands & products strongly connect. We believe that
joining efforts in going to the market will strengthen both our
stories and hence our customers' demand for fairer calling. "
