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 84 million registered users and 208, 000 active partners across 17 countries, have together already saved 283 million meals from going to waste - saving almost 707, 000 tonnes of CO2e!
