We are a certified B Corporation with a mission to empower everyone to take action against food waste. Alongside our marketplace app, we create educational tools, explore new business solutions, and influence legislation to help reduce food waste.
We're growing fast: Our community of 74 million registered users and 135,000 active partners across 17 countries, have together already saved 198 million meals from going to waste - avoiding almost 500,000 tonnes of CO2e Too Good To Go was named in FastCompany's March 2022 list of the World's Most Innovative Companies, and was honoured to be included in TIME's list of the 100 Most Influential Companies of 2022.
