Henderson Loggie’s Chair and Head of Business Recovery & Insolvency, Shona Campbell, is overseeing the transition of sustainability platform Pawprint after its assets were bought out of the liquidation process by former managing director Emily Hillier.
Ms Hillier will take on the role of CEO and ensure continuity of service for Pawprint customers following the asset acquisition.
Ms Campbell has been appointed to oversee the formal liquidation process while supporting an orderly transition to new ownership.
Pawprint combines technology, behavioural science and carbon data in a single climate-action platform designed to inspire individuals and organisations to embrace sustainability in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Scientifically backed by carbon expert Mike Berners-Lee, Pawprint was the first eco-companion tool to integrate climate-positive actions across home, work and lifestyle.
Founded in 2019, more than 50,000 individuals have logged climate-friendly actions through the Pawprint app. Major UK companies including Royal London, Vitality and Nando’s have also used the platform to engage employees in sustainability initiatives.
The business has created more than 50 skilled sustainability roles and contributed to Scotland’s wider tech ecosystem through early adoption and integration of emerging technologies.
Shona Campbell said:
“A route has been secured which allows the platform and customer relationships to continue under new ownership.
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.”
Pawprint founder Christian Arno will move into the role of non-executive chair, supporting the transition and helping to guide the next phase of growth.
Christian Arno said:
“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.
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.”
Emily Hillier said:
“Pawprint has always stood for empowering people to take meaningful climate action, and that purpose remains as important as ever.
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.”
