Oterra, one of the world’s leading suppliers of natural colours, announced the addition of Vera Karmebäck to the team as its first Global Sustainability Lead. Vera Karmebäck enhances the international profile of the company, having been named a UN Global Compact SDG Pioneer in 2022. Recognized for her strong work in having “demonstrated extraordinary progress and commitment towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals”, she comes from RA International – a remote site service provider.

Sustainability is a key focus area for Oterra in 2023, as the company looks to step out of the shadows of its previous parent company Chr. Hansen and strongly solidify its own world contributions. For Oterra CEO, Odd Erik Hansen, the company’s mission of “making food and beverage easy for a healthy and sustainable world” resonates with industry aspirations.
