Oterra Partners with HowGood to Strengthen Product Carbon Transparency for Customers

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, October 8, 2026 – Oterra, one of the world's leading producers of naturally sourced colors, today announced a partnership with HowGood, the leading sustainability intelligence platform for the food and beverage industry, to provide Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) for selected ingredients and support customers with more detailed product insights.

The partnership is part of Oterra's commitment to deliver on its 2030 Sustainability Strategy, which focuses on three interconnected pillars: Nature, Climate and People. Through the collaboration, Oterra will gain access to HowGood's product carbon foot printing capabilities, helping the company better understand, measure and communicate the environmental impact of its products.

"Our customers are looking for greater transparency across their supply chains in order to reduce carbon emissions and other impacts," said Vera Karmeback, Head of Global Sustainability at Oterra. " This partnership with HowGood provides the transparency, data and methodology needed to drive decarbonization in Oterra and our customers.”

Oterra already produces supply chain and site data, but this partnership helps connect that data to the product supplied to customers.

As part of the first phase of the collaboration, Oterra will develop Product Carbon Footprints for selected products using HowGood's method and sustainability intelligence platform. The insights will help customers understand and manage the footprint of the ingredients they buy from Oterra, for their own Scope 3 reporting and decarbonization work. It will also advance Oterra's own efforts to advance decarbonization initiatives throughout its supply chain.

"Food companies are under growing pressure to understand and reduce emissions across their value chains," said Rachel Calomeni, SVP of Growth & Innovation at HowGood. "We're pleased to work with Oterra as it expands its sustainability capabilities and provides customers with greater visibility into the environmental impact of naturally sourced color solutions."

The announcement builds on the momentum of Oterra's 2030 Sustainability Strategy, launched earlier this year. The strategy outlines ambitious targets across climate action, responsible sourcing, ecosystem protection and people development. A key element is working closely with partners, suppliers, and customers to accelerate meaningful progress beyond Oterra's own operations.

"Partnerships are essential if we are to create lasting change," Karmeback added. "Our sustainability strategy recognizes that collaboration across the value chain is critical. By combining Oterra's deep expertise in naturally sourced colors with HowGood's sustainability intelligence, we can help customers make more informed decisions and support the transition to a more sustainable food system."
