In 2021, Guayaki Sustainable Rainforest Products, Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 33,660,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 3,020,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 430,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. The majority of their emissions, about 30,210,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which encompasses all other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain. Currently, Guayaki has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. Their emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that these figures are solely attributed to Guayaki itself. As a company headquartered in the US, Guayaki is positioned within the broader context of the beverage industry, where sustainability and carbon footprint reduction are increasingly critical. However, without defined reduction strategies, their future climate commitments remain unclear.
