Our primary objective for managing the Guayakí Yerba Mate’s environmental impact is to take responsibility for our footprint and support the regeneration of the priority ecosystems from which we source our key ingredients. Guayakí is actively reducing our GHG emissions, taking steps to improve our water stewardship activities, tracking and reducing our waste and packaging, and supporting land biodiversity and preservation where our producers source yerba mate.
In 2021, we created our first in-house greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory and developed the foundations for company-wide GHG data reporting. With our 2021 GHG emissions baseline established, we focused our efforts in 2022 on identifying areas for carbon reduction and developing emissions reduction strategies in our Operations and Distribution departments.
As a beverage company, water used in our operations and in the production of our ingredients is one of our material issues. In 2022, we kicked off the development of a water stewardship strategy which we aim to finalize in 2023.
Guayakí’s ready-to-drink products are served in glass bottles or aluminum cans. Other major packaging and waste streams include cardboard cases, wood pallets, and flexible film used to protect product during transport and distribution.

As a beverage company, the production of our raw materials and ingredients has the biggest impact on land, biodiversity, and soil health.
