Kwamecorp at Droidcon Berlin 2013

During their life-cycle, electronic goods influence many people's lives. People are involved from the mining to the recycling, yet the social and environmental issues are often neglected and left out of the equation. We strive for radical transparency as a way to unfold the complexity of the chain. We believe that through shared responsibility, shared value can be created for all stakeholders. In fact, by making a phone, and being part of the market, we will believe we will find the right partners. Partners, like KwameCorp, who will join us on our journey towards a fair phone. Kwame is a digital R&D agency, and believes that a fair phone deserves an OS which reflects ideals of transparency and fairness in its user experience and design. An OS which empowers the user to be conscious about his usage behaviour, from energy footprint to hardware used. In order to support this philosophy, fair phone's interface design needs to be free from clutter, simple, and very honest. Ultimately Kwame envisions a simple but better OS. One that allows for space to reflect and realize but also one that minimizes the time you need to get to what is important.
