About Us

Greenpeace is a global environmental organization. We are on the ground worldwide, exposing environmental crimes, informing the public and confronting those responsible with our actions. We lead campaigns to secure a green future for our planet. We confront those who pollute our air, poison our oceans and cut down our forests, not only on our doorstep, but all over the world. We believe optimism is a form of courage. We believe that a billion acts of courage can spark a brighter tomorrow. To that end we model courage, we champion courage, we share stories of courageous acts by our supporters and allies, we invite people out of their comfort zones to take courageous action with us, individually in their daily lives, and in community with others who share our commitment to a better world. A green and peaceful future is our quest. The heroes of our story are all of us who believe that better world is not only within reach, but being built today.

Greenpeace in Central and Eastern Europe, with headquarters in Vienna, consists of about 180 staff, along with 100,000 donors, volunteers and activists. We do not take money from politicians or corporations: We are independent.
