Too Good To Go, an app the connects consumers to surplus food from local restaurants and grocery stores, has saved over 28 million meals from being wasted in 2020, a 49 percent increase compared to 2019, according to the company’s first impact report.
In the first four months of the app’s launch in the U.S., more than 145,000 Americans joined the app in the NYC and Boston markets. In addition, over 50,000 partners have joined Too Good To Go worldwide, with 4,000 of those in the U.S.
The company also recently announced its intention to be “carbon neutral+”, which means it will go beyond being carbon neutral in its environmental efforts.
“Raising the bar is one of Too Good To Go's core values, and this is what we want to achieve in publishing our Impact Report and commitment to being carbon neutral+. It's a tangible assessment of the positive impact we're having on the world around us, and also our way of thanking and paying tribute to our communities of users, partners and stakeholders for their commitment to fighting food waste, together," said Mette Lykke, CEO of Too Good To Go, in a statement.
