    I don’t know if your purposely misunderstanding me or if I’m not explaining myself well but give it one last time and then just agreed to disagree.

    Fairphone a company I don’t even particularly like uses less rare metals, in factories that ensure better standards of living for the people who work there.

    Is it everything I want? No. Does it make a measurable impact? Yes.

    Therefore it is not the same. they may be a capitalist company and they could change their motto tomorrow of course any company can choose to do terrible things and may throughout the course of their company’s lifetime.

    As of right now with the options we have they physically do less harm.

      We’re saying the same thing. I’m just emphasizing that they’re still capitalists who will make decisions based on profitability before social impact. It’s inherent because without profitability they can’t exist. Their stated mission (from a quick google) is to be profitable while making a positive impact.

      They won’t abandon profitability for impact.
