Wake up call: Mobiles make Congo suffer

30.05.08 Copenhagen. Mobile phone batteries from at least four leading mobile phone producers contain cobalt from The Democratic Republic of Congo. These companies run the risk of supporting illegal export and unfair mining practices, which often involve severe human rights abuses.

'In 2001 a UN panel of experts first documented that the extraction of another metal coltan (tantalum), used in capacitors for mobile phones, was related to critical conditions in the mining industry in DR Congo. Until very recently, however, mobile phone producers such as Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, LG Electronics and Sony Ericsson have made little, if any, effort to track the origins of the metals used in their phones, even though for many years they have been aware of the risks involved. Presently there are no guaranties that the various metals used in mobile phones are extracted in a sustainable and responsible way.' [2]


Workers silenced while we talk

New report reveals severe violations of workers’ rights in Asian mobile phone factories

24-09-2008

'The mobile phone industry is often presented as a clean, unproblematic industry, but makeITfair’s new report ‘Silenced to Deliver’ shows that this is not the case. Young electronics workers handle chemicals without protective gear. They work inhumane overtime hours to cover basic needs and are punished if they make mistakes. In the export processing zones in Asia where the factories are located, protests are often brutally suppressed.' [3]
