To assemble the list, TIME solicited nominations from business sectors, ranging from healthcare and entertainment to transportation and technology, from their editors and correspondents around the world, as well as from industry experts.

“We have always pushed to demonstrate how private businesses can exist for good and use their influence to create meaningful change”, said Mette Lykke, CEO, Too Good To Go.

“Since our early days, I’ve seen the conversation move on from questions about how we balance impact and business to now being about how companies and investors in general can do more to create a better future.”

“This recognition is not only thanks to our entire team, but also our partners and users who contribute to creating this impact every day. We’re privileged to be working alongside 100,000+ dedicated partners and millions of engaged users to save food everyday.”

Too Good to Go has a direct impact on the issue of food waste through its app, which connects people and businesses to save food from going to waste, and is the world’s biggest food-saving platform.

In addition, the company runs projects under each of its additional pillars: schools, public affairs, businesses, and households.

The app first launched in Dublin last September before expanding to Galway and Cork, with more city launches to come. Since its launch in Ireland, Too Good To Go has amassed a community of 117,000 app users who have collectively saved over 55,000 Surprise Bags of surplus food from going to waste across the country.

In November 2021 the company was accepted onto the EU Platform on Food Losses and Food Waste, a five-year project bringing together public and private sector players from all EU countries to tackle issues including reducing consumer food waste, removing barriers to food donation, introducing legally binding food waste reduction targets, and addressing food waste linked to date labels.
