Too Good To Go

👀👃👅Celebrating World Food Day by encouraging consumers to trust their senses and save good food from going to waste  👀👃👅 📅 Five years ago, we learned that around 10% of European household food waste comes from misunderstandings about Best Before and Use By dates (EC, 2018). We knew we needed to do something about it. This led us to scale the ‘Look-Smell-Taste’ initiative, aimed at spreading awareness on how Best Before products are often good after their date. 🤝 In partnership with some of the world's leading consumer goods companies including Unilever, Nestlé, Danone, Mondelēz International and Bel we introduced a simple yet powerful way to help prevent unnecessary food waste in households. The bespoke Too Good To Go label encourages consumers to trust their senses and look, smell and taste Best Before food items before wasting them. 🏆 And together, we’re making a real difference: 74% of those who noticed the ’Look-Smell-Taste’ label, reported that they were inspired to change their behaviour for the better.* 👏 On this World Food Day, we want to say thank you to our coalition of over 500 brands, across 14 countries, who have adopted the label and print it on over 6 billion product packages annually, helping consumers avoid unnecessary food waste at home.

🤝🚀 Next-level efficiency and food waste reduction with Too Good To Go and Hanshow 🚀🤝 We’re super excited to team up with Hanshow to make surplus food management in grocery stores easier than ever. With the integration of Too Good To Go’s Platform and Hanshow’s electronic shelf labels, managing near-expiry products is now a breeze. 🍃 Instead of checking every single item, store employees get a custom shortlist sent right to their handheld devices, cutting down daily checks to just 1-5% of products. And with Hanshow’s shelf labels flashing within seconds, staff can spot the right products at record speed. 💯 This solution is currently being tested in six stores in France, where it has already saved employees up to 1 hour per day. In some locations, we’ve seen a 56% reduction in the time spent locating items—valuable time that can now be used to focus on other tasks and improve store operations. 👏 Together with Hanshow, we’re streamlining store operations, boosting productivity, and making a real impact in the fight against food waste! 🌍 #Sustainability #Innovation #TechForGood https://lnkd.in/enbDgcZu

⚡NYC Climate Week 2024 has officially come to a close!⚡ This year’s #ClimateWeek was the biggest yet, and the Too Good To Go team was proud to be right in the heart of it. 💚 🧑💻Our VP of Operations - North America, Chris MacAulay, made a major impact, speaking at five key events throughout the city. At the Regen House Roundtable, Chris shared insights alongside experts from ReFED, Apeel, and other innovators, discussing how tech solutions can accelerate climate action. 📈Zach Shaben, our Public Affairs Manager, also attended many events. At Capgemini’s Business to Planet panel, he highlighted how businesses can embrace sustainability not just as a challenge, but as an opportunity for growth and impact. 🧑🎓Meanwhile, our Head of Strategy, Allie Denburg, returned to her alma mater, Columbia Business School, to inspire students in the sustainability club. Allie shared her vision for a more sustainable and equitable food system, offering valuable advice on pursuing careers in sustainability. ✨And we were honoured to be featured on the iconic Nasdaq tower. Pretty amazing. Big thanks to the team at Nasdaq for this honour, specifically Charles Neidenbach for working his magic! This year’s Climate Week brought together changemakers who are more driven than ever. It strengthened partnerships and advanced innovative solutions to achieve environmental goals. However, as Champions 12.3 founder, Ambassador Hans, reminded us, we are not yet on track to meet the UN’s goal of halving food waste by 2030. Reducing food loss and waste remains crucial for meeting global greenhouse gas reduction targets, and the mission of Too Good To Go—fighting food waste at every level—has never been more essential! 👊 #ClimateWeek #Sustainability #TechForGood

Too Good To Go has landed Down Under! 🦘💚 We have officially launched in Australia, starting with beautiful Melbourne! 🌎 This launch marks the third continent as part of our growing global community of over 100 million registered users, and a crucial step towards our dream of a planet with no food waste. 💸 According to End Food Waste Australia, food waste is a multi-billion dollar problem in Australia ($36.6 billion dollars annually, in fact). 7.6 million tonnes of food are wasted every year: that’s enough to fill the Melbourne Cricket Ground ten times over! Australia’s National Food Waste Strategy is proposing to halve food waste by 2030, and we’re excited to start playing our role in making that a reality. It’s only day one, and we’ve already teamed up with over 80 businesses in Melbourne, giving people the chance to save good food from going to waste  and make a tangible impact. Let’s ‘get saving’ together Australia! 🌱💚 #TechForGood #Sustainability #Hiring

💸 A recent report from the The Consumer Goods Forum and AlixPartners indicates that the cost of hidden food waste and surplus is likely to be 25-30% more than historical measures (already predicted to be a whopping $1.1 trillion each year by the WWF in 2024). 📈 They also predict that the future cost of greenhouse gas emissions could be anywhere from 3-5 times the current costs in 25 years - as municipalities, states and nations implement stricter reporting requirements and emissions caps. 🤝 It’s clear that food waste reduction measures are essential for businesses. Not only for environmental purposes but also to enhance commercial performance. 🌎 At Too Good To Go, we see this report as a crucial call to action for investing in strong food waste strategies for a more sustainable future. Reach out to talk to us about how businesses can reduce food surplus and increase impact from day one.  Read the full report here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dCArQkVB #GreenEconomy #ClimateAction #CorporateResponsibility

🌍 Today marks #EarthOvershootDay - the day humanity's collective resource consumption exceeds what Earth can regenerate in a year. And it’s only August.🤯 📣 This serves as a powerful and tangible reminder of our urgent need to live more sustainably, to do better for our planet and for ourselves. 📅 Individual countries’ overshoot day is the date on which Earth Overshoot Day would fall if all of humanity consumed like the people in that country. Country overshoot days are published on January 1st of each year, using the latest year of the most recent National Footprint and Biocapacity Accounts edition. Where does your country fall? 💡Did you know: Reducing food waste is the number one action you can take to help tackle climate change, by limiting the temperature rise to 2˚C by 2100 (Project Drawdown, 2020). Every meal saved from going to waste helps protect precious resources and avoid unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions. By being mindful of our food habits, we can take meaningful action and help turn the tide. Join us in saving food from going to waste and help to push back Earth Overshoot Day for a greener, cleaner planet. 💚🌍 Let’s #MoveTheDate! 💪 #EarthOvershootDay #ClimateAction #TechForGood
