Guayakí supply chain
SCOPE 3 SUPPLIER MAP
Not sure what Scope 3, CARB or Tier 1 means? Definitions explains every term on this site, two lines each.
Eight suppliers across three levels — from the yerba mate cooperatives in Argentina to the aluminium and freight companies moving the product north.
Each has its own intake link. As answers come back, the picture fills in and the record updates.
- The ingredient side is the strong part of this chain
- Yerba mate comes from a named cooperative and a named small-farm collective, both working on regenerative practice, and it is documented
- The open questions are ocean freight and aluminium
- Ordinary gaps for a beverage brand shipping from South America — and the two we are collecting on first
The suppliers
- Level 1 — who Guayakí buys from directly
- Level 2 — who supplies them: transport, upstream farms, materials processors
- Level 3 — the seed and soil behind that, where public disclosure is thinnest
Tier 1 — direct suppliers
3 companiesCompanies with a direct commercial relationship with Guayakí.
Ingredient — yerba mate. Regenerative agriculture partner; practices are known and documented.
Tier 2 — one step removed
3 companiesTransport, upstream farming partners and materials processors.
Ingredient — raw material. Regenerative practice confirmed on the ground in Misiones province, Argentina.
Tier 3 — commodity and seed inputs
2 companiesAgricultural and soil input suppliers. These report at program or group level rather than by customer, so data confidence here is lower.
What is still open
Ocean freight with Hapag-Lloyd is the largest single undisclosed transport emission here.
The South America to North America lanes carry real carbon that has never been reported at product level.
Aluminium can production is the second gap. Smelting is one of the most energy-intensive industrial processes there is.
Novelis supplies sheet to Ball Corporation, and neither has shared detailed figures for this product line.
Both gaps are named on the Guayakí report rather than smoothed over, so a buyer knows which part of the number is measured and which part is estimated.
How the intake works
- Each link above is unique and expires
- An answer attaches to the right supplier record
- Once we have checked it, the page updates
- Suppliers fill in a short form — no account, no password, nothing to install
