Pawprint
Pawprint harnesses the energy employees already have to play their part in the fight against climate change, and channels it towards their organisation’s climate targets. Their tool provides a fun, powerful platform enabling individuals to measure, understand and reduce their carbon footprint through sustained behavioural change. The technology combines behavioural science and gamification techniques with an expertly validated carbon calculator and tracker, providing users with the necessary insights and motivation to get on board the journey to a more sustainable future. Pawprint are determined to build engaged communities across the world and inspire collective action that will result in a truly significant contribution towards turning the tide on climate change.
Farming Carbon
Farming Carbon are researching a practical solution for climate change - to make a lasting impact on the world we live in by protecting biodiversity, carbon removal and better farming practises.
Their social enterprise hopes to research and validate the effectiveness of sustainable farming. They use a social media presence to educate and entertain everyday people and highlight how they can value to the farming community. They hope to eventually help farmers change how they approach the land and financially support their decision to change to sustainable practices.
