New: send a postcard message to your Mobile Phone Company to make sure that workers in factories making parts for your phones are paid a living wage for a normal working week.

Multinational companies can influence their suppliers. And the people who buy their products – people like you – can influence these big name companies too. It’s time the companies took responsibility for better working conditions for IT workers everywhere. And this is how you can help:

 

  • Send an e-mail to the biggest electronics companies. Ask them to improve conditions for miners and workers at the bottom of their supply chain and to clean up their act when it comes to environmental pollution!

  • Find out more about how and where mobile phones and other electronics products are made in the facts
  • Look out for more makeITfair leaflets on different aspects of the electronics industry – and join in with the campaign activities!
  • If you are buying a new mobile phone or the latest game product, ask where it was produced and whether good social and environmental standards were followed!
  • Before you decide to buy a new product: think whether you can make to with your old one for another year or two! Or if you don’t reuse it – take it to a recycling point (or leave it in the shop).
