About Too Good To Go

At Too Good To Go we aim to inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste together. 40% of all the food produced in the world is wasted, with a big impact on the planet: 10% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide come from food loss and waste.

Too Good To Go operates the world’s largest B2C marketplace for surplus food. Through our app we connect businesses that have unsold, surplus food with consumers who can buy and enjoy it at a reduced price. We are a mission-driven certified B Corp. 

We’re growing fast: Our community of over 100 million registered users across 19 countries has already saved more than 350 million meals from going to waste - together avoiding more than 945,000 of CO2e from entering the atmosphere. 

In 2023, Apple recognised Too Good To Go as Winner at the annual App Store Awards, for our app’s exceptional user experience and profound impact on society.

We always look for talented people with diverse backgrounds to join our team. Right now, we’re recruiting a Vice-President of Marketing Strategy & Operations.
