Our take
There is an accelerating consumer need to eat healthily, sustainably, and at value. Gousto aims to meet this need with its meal-kit delivery service, which offers pre-packaged ingredients and recipe instructions. It sets itself apart with more than 60 different recipes to choose from each week - a third of which are customisable.
In 2021, Gousto sold more than 90 million meals, amounting to three meals every second, a figure that is on the rise. It is part of The UK Plastics Pact, which aims for 100% reusable, recyclable and compostable plastic by 2025. As a member, Gousto has committed to eliminating problematic plastics, stimulating innovation and helping to build a stronger recycling system in the UK.
Gousto became a B Corp certified company for its sustainability efforts. Following huge recent investments, the now unicorn company is sure to continue its growth over the coming years as more consumers switch to convenient online grocery shopping.

The energy at Gousto is infectious! There's always a way to get involved in the things you're most passionate about. Everyone is so enthusiastic about the product and the mission, and excited to deliver new things. Specifically working with data, people are always keen to understand more about what our customers want most and to put that into action.

I love Gousto's mission that every meal should leave the planet better off. Huge effort goes into sustainability and reducing waste, and it's great to be part of a company that prioritises (and uses data to help solve!) those things.

There's definitely a lot of autonomy in how you go about your job, including in the projects you work on - if you can justify the value, go do it! That's something I personally really enjoy, and has led to some of my favourite pieces of work. It's part of the culture of the company, and I haven't felt that changing even as we've scaled so dramatically, which is great.
