Greenpeace is an independent global organization campaigning to ensure a peaceful and sustainable world for future generations. Greenpeace stands for positive change through action. We defend the natural world and promote peace. We investigate, expose and confront environmental abuse by governments and corporations around the world. We champion environmentally responsible and socially just solutions, including scientific and technical innovation.

Greenpeace exists because this fragile earth deserves a voice. It needs solutions. It needs change. It needs action. The underlying goal of all our work is a green and peaceful world – an earth that is ecologically healthy and able to nurture life in all its diversity. Greenpeace’s goal is to ensure the ability of the earth to nurture life in all its diversity. Greenpeace campaigns are geared towards a sustainable planet.

Greenpeace is present in more than 55 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and the Pacific. Greenpeace consists of Greenpeace International in Amsterdam, and Greenpeace national and regional offices.

Greenpeace International monitors the organisational development, oversees our fleet of ships, coordinates planning and implementation of our global campaigns and monitors compliance with core policies.

Greenpeace is one of the most well-known, effective, and ambitious environmental organisations in the world. Greenpeace has consultative status with the United Nations and has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Greenpeace is funded mostly by individual supporters’ donations and charitable foundations’ funding. We do not accept money from governments, corporations, or political parties, allowing us to maintain our independence and take bold actions. We are committed to transparency in how we use these funds, ensuring they go directly to our campaigns and efforts to protect the environment. If you believe in our mission, we invite you to join us by donating and supporting our work for a greener, more just world.

In 1971, motivated by the vision of a green and peaceful world, a small team of activists set sail from Vancouver, Canada, in an old fishing boat. These activists, the founders of Greenpeace, believed a few individuals could make a difference. Nowadays, Greenpeace has 2.8 million supporters worldwide and a presence in 41 countries.

In the Philippines, Greenpeace began its journey in the March 2000, driven by the same passion and commitment to environmental protection. Over the years, Greenpeace Philippines has grown into a vital force for environmental advocacy in the country, leading campaigns on climate justice, plastic pollution, and the preservation of biodiversity. Through grassroots movements, direct actions, and partnerships with local communities, Greenpeace Philippines continues to be a powerful voice for change, working tirelessly to protect the environment for future generations.

Currently, we are tackling critical issues like climate justice and advocating for a plastic-free future. With the help of communities, we work to protect biodiversity, prevent environmental abuse, and hold corporations accountable for their impact on our planet. Together, we aim to create a sustainable and just world for everyone.
