Oslo, 27 March 2023: Pål Hestad, EVP Global Plants & Operational Excellence, has asked to step down from his current position for personal reasons, and will take on a different role in Yara.

"Pål has safely led the Global Plants & Operational Excellence organization through an extraordinary period dominated by a pandemic and war which resulted in a demanding situation for a global operation like ours. Pål has now asked to step down and will continue to work for Yara in a different role.
