Certification for fair trade and responsible supply chains
Impact, special achievements & commitmentsEstablished in 1996, Guayakí Sustainable Rainforest Products sources shade-grown yerba mate that incentivizes conservation of the South American Atlantic Rainforest and financially supports the Indigenous and small-hold yerba mate producers who steward the forest. The agroforestry model Guayakí supports in Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil plays an important role in helping to defend one of the most biodiverse biomes in the world and protect its essential ecosystem services.

As a Fair for Life Brand Holder, Guayakí Sustainable Rainforest Products commits to decent working conditions for all employees and fair sourcing practices and responsibilities in our yerba mate supply chain. Fair for Life certification assures that human rights are safeguarded at any stage of production, with producers and processors receiving good wages and fair working conditions. Our Fair Trade commitment improves the livelihood of the Indigenous communities and small-hold producers we partner with in South America by providing funds for social events, community projects, infrastructure improvements, and health services.
