At Moddex, social procurement means creating value beyond the product itself. It means designing and delivering systems in ways that support environmental responsibility, inclusive employment, safer public spaces, and stronger local supply chains.
Across our operations, we focus on how our products are made, how our people are supported, and how our work contributes to better long-term outcomes for communities, clients and the built environment.

Our goal is to increase our efficiencies and become economically successful, while applying commercial strategies to benefit and improve both our community and the environment.

Tree Planting Initiative
In New Zealand, reducing our carbon footprint for a cleaner, greener Aotearoa is important to us.
That’s why for every invoice we generate, a tree will be planted by the Moddex team. We are focused on planting trees and shrubs that are native to the region, which in turn, provide many benefits to us and the environment daily.
