Who We Are
Greenpeace stands for positive change through action. 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 technological innovation.
We are committed to the principles of non-violence, political independence and internationalism. In exposing threats to the environment and in working to find solutions, Greenpeace has no permanent allies or enemies.
Greenpeace relies on the voluntary donations of individual supporters, and on grant-support from foundations. We neither seek nor accept donations which could compromise our independence, aims, objectives or integrity, which means we don't solicit or accept funding from governments, corporations or political parties.
Join A Global Campaigning Movement
Greenpeace UK is part of a truly global campaigning movement. With almost 3 million financial supporters around the world, and a presence in 46 countries, we work where we will have the biggest global impact. From China to Brazil, Indonesia to the United States and – uniquely – on the high seas, Greenpeace works to defend the natural world and promote peace.
We have been campaigning against environmental degradation since 1971, when a small boat of volunteers and journalists sailed into Amchitka, an area north of Alaska, where the US government was conducting underground nuclear tests. This tradition of 'bearing witness' in a non-violent manner continues today.
Globally, our priority campaigns are the prevention of climate change, the protection of the world’s ancient forests and defending our oceans from the threat of over exploitation. Right now we are running our most ambitious campaign for decades, the Protection of the High Arctic from over industrialisation. This is an exciting, but immensely challenging campaign, and it makes it an important time to join us.
