There's some companies like Fairphone that tries to make a difference.

  Sure, those are important, but they don't have enough scale yet to work for a large company. Today, it's impossible for a company like Apple to take that tactic without building every piece of its logistics pipeline. It's why I applaud Apple's environment and sustainability initiatives. Arguably they are making a more significant impact than Fairphone due to scale. Still, on the other side, they're working within the existing exploitative systems, so only so much change can happen at once, and it's slow. Taken together, Fairphone and Apple are closing the gap from both sides. And I respect that because even if it isn't enough, it's taking a position on the argument and further making changes toward the common good.
