Did you know?

More than 40% of all food produced in the world is wasted (WWF, 2021). And that has a huge impact on the health of our planet. In fact, 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions come from food waste and loss alone (WWF, 2024). That’s almost five times the total emissions from the aviation sector (UNEP, 2024).

We’re growing fast: Our community of over 133+ million registered users and 261,000+ active partners across 21 countries, have together already saved 517+ million meals from going to waste - avoiding over 1,397,000 tonnes of CO2e!

Your ambition drives our mission. Let’s end food waste together

Ignite your potential within a high-growth social impact company, where you’ll be empowered to thrive in your career and make a positive impact together with talented colleagues.
