Administrative Officer - Edinburgh, United Kingdom - Pawprint

Description

Company Description:

Pawprint is an employee engagement platform for climate action.

Our main focus is embedding sustainability across the goals and mindset of businesses and helping everyone at all levels play their part.

It's true that one person turning off a light isn't going to solve the problem, but if large groups of people act, spend and speak in a purposeful way big change is possible

That being said, we recognise the scale of individual versus business' carbon footprints, so we are actively seeking out ways to help the latter align with science-based net zero too.

Currently, we deliver data back to business customers to help them make informed decisions about the direction of their operations.

We have big plans to do even more in this space.

In terms of what it's like to work at Pawprint, we're a certified B Corp, Living Wage Employer, and 1% for the Planet member.

We strive to walk the walk and act as a shining example for all stakeholders.

A note on diversity:
to beat climate change, diversity of thought and experience is essential. Pawprint is dedicated to hiring great people from a wide variety of backgrounds - if your experience (life or work) has something to add, please let us know in your cover letter
