So? Step by step. Once the FairPhone gets a large-enough market, they may be able to move parts of the production to Europe.

Perfect is the enemy of the good (it also took HMD a while to have a model that was manufactured in Europe).

You’re not wrong, but honest question: do Fairphone actually have EU manufacturing as a goal? First I’ve heard of it.

I'm fairly sure they don't; at least historically, the goal has been to improve the situation on the ground, not to move production elsewhere. (I think this was the post in which they explained that thinking, but I didn't reread it just now: https://www.fairphone.com/en/2025/10/15/lets-talk-about-fair...)
