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

 More than 1/3 of all food produced in the world is wasted. And that has a huge impact on the health of our planet. 10% of greenhouse gas emissions come from food waste and loss.

Through our marketplace app, we connect businesses that have unsold, surplus food, with consumers who can buy and enjoy it at ⅓ of retail value. 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.

In this role, you will make a direct, positive contribution to our mission every day. As part of the team in Lisbon, Portugal, the journey promises to be exciting as you will be part of changing the conversation around food waste and establishing the Too Good To Go brand in the minds of customers and food businesses.
