Pawprint has been bought out of liquidation by its former Managing Director, Emily Hillier.
Liquidator, Shona Campbell from Henderson Loggie, has been appointed to oversee the formal liquidation process and support its transition.
“A route has been secured which allows the platform and customer relationships to continue under new ownership,” she said.
“Our role now is to manage the formalities of the liquidation while supporting a smooth transition. Emily’s commitment offers a constructive outcome for stakeholders and a positive future for the technology.”
Edinburgh-based Pawprint is a technology, behavioural science and carbon data platform, set up to inspire people and companies to embrace sustainability.
Backed scientifically by carbon expert Mike Berners‑Lee, it was the first eco‑companion tool to integrate actions across home, work and lifestyle.
“Pawprint has always stood for empowering people to take meaningful climate action, and that purpose remains as important as ever,” said Hillier.
“I’m excited to lead the next chapter, working closely with our customers to build on the strong foundations already in place. There is huge potential ahead, and I’m committed to ensuring the platform and the company continues to deliver value, innovation and impact.”
Founded in 2019, more than 50k individuals have logged climate-friendly actions through its app, while companies using the platform include Royal London, Vitality and Nando’s.
Hillier will become CEO of the company, with founder Christian Arno moving into the role of Non Exec Chair.
“Seeing the Pawprint platform move into the hands of someone who knows the business, believes deeply in its mission and is committed to its future is incredibly heartening,” said Arno.
“Emily’s decision to take the reins provides a positive way forward for customers and partners who have supported us from the beginning. I’m proud of what the team has built and delighted that the platform and proposition will continue to evolve under Emily’s leadership.”
