About Greenpeace
Greenpeace is an independent campaigning organisation that uses creative, confrontational and non-violent action to uncover global environmental problems and encourage solutions that enable the realisation of a peaceful, greener future.
Greenpeace runs campaigns to address pressing environmental issues like climate change and justice, deforestation, pollution, renewable energy. Through advocacy, research and investigations, and grassroots organising, we raise awareness, push for policy changes, and hold governments and corporations accountable for their environmental impact.
Other than that, we draw attention to environmental issues and pressure decision-makers to make action with direct action tactics (e.g., peaceful protests and creative stunts).
Greenpeace works to ensure transparency and public accountability in its campaigning, fundraising and financial management practices. Regularly, Greenpeace publishes public reports and updates on activities, campaigns, and finances on our website. Learn more about our work on our report page.
Greenpeace is an independent, non-profit organisation where we don’t accept funding from the government and corporations but depend on amazing people like you to help us make Malaysia greener and healthier. Our regular donations are super flexible, you can cancel anytime. We completely understand that making a donation is not always possible – and that’s 100% okay! And there are plenty of other ways to get involved and support our campaign work, including signing a petition, sharing our campaign messages with your friends and family, or by becoming a valued member of the team as a volunteer.
Of course! No matter how old you are, we would love for you to get involved in our activities for younger people. You can learn about how to adapt a green lifestyle, spreading awareness among peers, and signing a petition on Take Action.
Greenpeace operates as a global organisation with a decentralised structure. We have national and regional offices around the world, each with its own staff, volunteers, and campaigns tailored to the specific environmental challenges and opportunities in their respective regions.
At the international level, Greenpeace is governed by the Greenpeace International Board, which monitors and sets the organisation’s overall direction and strategy. The Board consists of representatives from Greenpeace’s national and regional offices, as well as independent experts.
Greenpeace is also led by an Executive Director, who oversees the day-to-day operations of the organisation and works closely with the International Board to implement its decisions and priorities.
Ultimately, Greenpeace is powered by a global network of passionate activists, supporters, and volunteers who work together to drive positive change for the planet.
