Country Manager BENELUX
Edgard & Cooper | B Corp
Kortrijk, Belgium
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. When they couldn’t find it, they decided to make their own. Now, 10 years later, our pack has over 200 employees and we are beyond proud to be part of the B Corp movement.
