If “business as usual” got us into this mess, why would we rely on it to get us out of it? We represent a new way of doing business that measures success on more than just making money, but on a triple bottom line of people, planet, and profit.
We are guided by purpose, not just profit.
B Corp Certification roots us in a local community of businesses who strive to do well and do good—a global movement transforming the world’s economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet.

Since 2014, when we realized that our existing practices met the rigorous standards for certification. Apparently, we were doing business like a B Corp without knowing it. Our initial certification also solidified a commitment to continuously improving our impact for the life of the business.
From B Lab: “Certified B Corporations are leaders in the global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy.”
We are measured on Governance, Workers, Environment, Community, and Customers.
Based on the B Impact assessment, Pixel Parlor earned an overall score of 101.7. The median score for ordinary businesses who complete the assessment is currently 50.9. See our B Corp Page
We are in good company with businesses like Patagonia, Warby Parker, New Belgium Brewery, Blueland, and Seventh Generation, and local Philadelphia businesses like Triple Bottom Brewing.
It’s an opportunity to use your resources and decision-making power to back-up your values. Working with a B Corp can energize your team and stakeholders around a shared vision. And in a world where a lot of people are making claims about social and environmental impact, B Corp certification is credible because of rigorous, third-party certification.
We have many opportunities to use business as a force for good. We seek to provide smart solutions to our clients so that the messages, materials, production methods, and quantities of products created are made to last, are environmentally sound, provoke change, and advance culture. We also provide a positive, ethical work environment for our employees.
B Corp Best for the World: Changemakers award means we continue to use our B Corp certification as a framework to seek out new ways to improve our impact in the world. As a Changemaker, our scores rank in the top 20% of global B Corps.
Recognizing the role we play as a business and as people in building a brighter future for our neighborhood, city, and beyond is the heartbeat of our studio.
We are proud to collaborate with other local sustainable businesses through our membership with the Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia (SBN) and our CEO’s role on their Board of Directors.
Pixel Parlor has an annual giving goal of donating 2% of profit to support mission-aligned not-for-profits and purpose-driven businesses.
We do this through charitable donations, volunteering, and sponsoring organizations that we align with. We also developed our Brand Grant program which awards pro-bono services to purpose-driven businesses and organizations committed to making a positive impact in our community.
