At Too Good To Go, we have an ambitious goal: to inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste together.

We’re growing fast: Our community of 127 million registered users and 253,000 active partners across 19 countries, have together already prevented 489+ million meals from going to waste - avoiding over 1.322.000 tonnes of CO2e!
