UN sustainable development goals.
Specifically, long term targets have
been set to measure the impact
of product solutions around the
SDG of (2) zero hunger, through
better farming, (12) responsible
consumption and production through
helping to create less waste and (3)
good health and wellbeing through
developing and providing healthier

“Chr. Hansen is a world leader in
natural colours. Sourced from nature,
the colour portfolio is the largest and
most vibrant in the food industry and
the company has been supplying
the world’s food and beverage
industry for over 145 years,” says the
company.
The Natural Colours Division has
a long history of partnering with
farmers, fostering local development
and responsible sourcing. A global
presence with sourcing experts
living and working around the world
enables the exchange of knowledge
to increase yield and quality and
dependable year-round access to
the best raw materials to create
natural colours and colouring foods
for the industry. Examples include
the supply chain of annatto and
anthocyanins. In more recent times,
the launch of the stable, bright red
plant-based carmine alternative,
the Hansen sweet potato was the
culmination of years of traditional
breeding (non-GMO) and expertise
in agronomy to increase the pigment
content and make the product fully
sustainable.
Hansen sweet potato is mainly used in fruit preparation,
beverage, confectionery, meat and prepared food and pet food.
