People, Planet, Profit  

"Let's not kill the good in pursuit of the perfect." Eric Lombardi, Grassroots Recycling Network

Modrobes was originally created to give people stylish, utilitarian garments made to perform and last a long time. Now having realized that the tradtional form of clothing manufacturing has damaging effects on humans and our environment we want to make smarter, better and cleaner garments that perform and last a long time.

"If you can do something that's better for everyone wouldn't you do it? We have the technology to make garments that don't use pesticides and toxic chemicals that kill us so why wouldn't we do it. We may be just a small clothing company but if we can make the world a tiny bit better then I'll feel like I did my part as a designer and human."

-Steven Sal Debus, -founder/designer

The triple bottom line from Wikipedia:

also known as "people, planet, profit") captures an expanded spectrum of values and criteria for measuring organizational (and societal) success: economic, ecological and social.

In practical terms, triple bottom line accounting means expanding the traditional reporting framework to take into account ecological and social performance in addition to financial performance.

The concept of TBL demands that a company's responsibility be to stakeholders rather than shareholders. In this case, "stakeholders" refers to anyone who is influenced, either directly or indirectly, by the actions of the firm. According to the stakeholder theory, the business entity should be used as a vehicle for coordinating stakeholder interests, instead of maximizing shareholder (owner) profit.
