I really enjoyed speaking to Tessa Wernink,
Communications Director for Fairphone yesterday.
She was talking about a new pre-order system to sell their new conflict-free phones.
Many phone companies have pulled out of mines in the conflict ridden Congo, so as not to fuel the problem.
Ambitious project
Fairphone have chosen a different strategy.
In collaboration with the Dutch government they are mining out of non-conflict areas within the Congo in the hope of stimulating economic growth in the areas that remain conflict-free.
It was inspiring to hear a woman that feels that product supply chains can make a difference to the world that we live in.
