Pawprint exists to help people fight climate change at home, work and beyond, through sustained, environmentally-beneficial behavioural change. But what about our own impact? This page sets out what we’re doing, as a business, to help improve life for people now and in the future.
We cannot beat the climate crisis in a vacuum. We're committed to casting our net far and wide, to engage a movement big enough to make a difference.
We are committed to doing our bit to bring emissions to zero by mid-century, and limit global warming (in line with scientific recommendation) to 1.5 degrees.
Pawprint is part of the new generation of businesses that know it’s no longer an option to exist purely for profit; we commit to prioritising people and the planet alongside our finances.
