Impact Manager (temporary mat leave cover)
Belgium, Kortrijk
Our mission 🚀
In 2016, our founders wanted to feed their dogs - named Edgard and Cooper - pet food they could feel good about. The kind of food that was as good for the planet as it was for their pets. But when they couldn't find this, they decided to make their own. Now, 9 years later, our pack has 200 employees and we are beyond proud to be part of the B Corp movement.
