Our mission

Our goal is to ensure the ability of the earth to nurture life in all its diversity. That means we want to:

– Protect biodiversity in all its forms.

– Prevent pollution and abuse of the Earth’s ocean, land, air, and fresh water.

– End all nuclear threats. Promote peace, global disarmament and non-violence.

Greenpeace Core Values

Non-Violence

We take action based on conscience. This means we are accountable for our actions and take personal responsibility. We are committed to peacefulness; everyone on a Greenpeace action is trained in nonviolence.

No Permanent Friends
Or Foes

If your government or company is willing to change, we will work with you to achieve your aims. Reverse course, and we will be back. What matters isn’t words, but actions.

Greenpeace has commenced the harvest of the green variety of rice in the field today and have called upon the Thai Government to ban genetically modified (GMO) rice.
