| Social Impact |
|
| Social Impact & Special Achievements | | | Guayaki US buys social and fair-trade certified Mate from different producers in Latin America and supports these producers very actively since years with consultation, concrete support of cultivation activities and environmental protection. Prices paid to producers are significantly higher than market prices. The company is highly committed to contribute to rainforest protection and restoration in the production regions and enforces corresponding cultivation methods in the producer projects. Special effort is laid on support of small producer groups and indigenous people. Other main ingredients of their Mate products are bought from fair-trade sources as well. | ||||
