Who we are

Greenpeace is an independent global campaigning organisation that acts to change attitudes and behaviour, to protect and conserve the environment, and to promote peace.

We expose environmental criminals, and challenge government and corporations when they fail to live up to their mandate to safeguard our environment and our future.

In pursuing our mission, we have no permanent allies or enemies. We promote open, informed debate about society's environmental choices. We use research, lobbying, and quiet diplomacy to pursue our goals, as well as high-profile, non-violent creative confrontation to raise the level and quality of public debate.

And we believe that the struggle to preserve the future of our planet is not about us. It's about you. Greenpeace speaks with the voice of 2.8 million supporters worldwide, and encourages many millions more than that to take action every day.

To maintain our independence, we do not accept donations from governments or corporations but rely on contributions from individual supporters and foundation grants.

We take the name of our flagship, the Rainbow Warrior, from a North American Cree Nation legend. It described a time when humanity's greed has made the Earth sick. At that time, a tribe of people known as the Warriors of the Rainbow would rise up to defend her.

One of the longest banners we've ever made summed things up: "When the last tree is cut, the last river poisoned, and the last fish dead, we will discover that we can't eat money..."

In the Philippines

Greenpeace presence has contributed to the safeguarding of the Filipino’s constitutional rights to a balanced and healthful ecology. Since it opened its office in Manila on March 1, 2000, Greenpeace, together with its allies and working with communities, has worked to champion renewable energy, combat illegal fishing and campaign for clean seas, support and amplify the Filipinos’ call for climate justice, and call for the elimination of toxic chemicals in our environment. Today, Greenpeace Philippines continues to create positive change in the lives of millions of Filipinos as the country strives to grow and develop towards a sustainable future.

Annual Auditor’s Report

Greenpeace is able to run the campaign thanks to the support of independent individuals through donations. We value your trust and are committed to maintaining and strengthening that trust by ensuring that all our work is transparent and accountable to all of you.
