GREENPEACE has been campaigning against
environmental degradation since 1971 and today
has 2.8 million supporters worldwide.
GREENPEACE is committed to the principles
of non-violence, political independence
and internationalism.
It promotes an open, informed debate about
society’s environmental choices and uses
research, lobbying, and quiet diplomacy to pursue
its goals, as well as a high-profile, non-violent
campaign to raise the level and quality of public
debate.
To maintain its independence GREENPEACE
does not accept donations from governments
or corporations, but relies on contributions from
individual supporters and foundation grants.
GREENPEACE, other than supporting
and financing international campaigns, ensures
the maintenance of its fleet, invests in scientific
research and technological innovation, works
on specific international campaigns in key
countries and offers economical support
the smaller organization offices unable to finance
themselves.
