Financial Information

More than four million people throughout the world are now regular Greenpeace supporters. The backing they give us is our lifeblood, for we continue to accept no funds from government or from industry. That independence is crucial to Greenpeace.

It has given us the power to do what we have done already. It must give us the power to extend ourselves over the next 25 years. For that quarter-century threatens to be a crucial one in the whole long history of our planet.
