Public Affairs Manager

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

Why? Because more than 1/3 of all the food produced in the world is wasted, resulting in a huge impact on the health of our planet. Food waste is responsible for 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

As the world’s largest marketplace for surplus food, Too Good To Go connects food stores that have unsold, surplus food with consumers who buy and enjoy it. More than just an app, TGTG is a certified B Corporation whose mission is to inspire and empower everyone to take action against food waste, through the awareness campaigns and educational tools we create, as well as the new business solutions and legislative improvement we pursue, all aimed at reducing levels of food waste.

We’re growing fast. Our community of 62 million users in 17 countries have saved over 160 million meals from going to waste, but there’s a lot more we want to achieve, when it comes to shaping the right policy environment.
