We became a B Corp because we've watched the ranks and impact of B Corp companies grow and wanted to be part of it. The fact is that businesses can make a tremendously positive impact on communities and the broader world through using their resources and influence.
Modo's studio is housed in a beautifully renovated tobacco warehouse located in downtown Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where they enjoy small city living. Their window-filled studio houses responsibly made office furnishings that are made from recycled materials, are certified for low interior emissions, and are durably made for longevity. They use real, honest-to-goodness dishes, silverware and hand towels, and of course recycle–all in an effort to leave a minimal environmental impact.

The Change We Seek®
Modo was founded on the principle of advancing the missions and amplifying the impact of mission-driven and environmentally-minded organizations. If we can do anything with our talents and creativity, then it is to make a real and lasting impact on the lives of people. That's the change we seek.
