MY - Public Engagement Campaigner

About Greenpeace

Greenpeace, one of the world’s most respected and dynamic organizations, is an international non-profit global campaigning organization that acts to ensure the ability of our Earth to nurture life in all its diversity. At the heart of Greenpeace’s campaigns is the tradition of non-violent direct actions against environmental abuses and destruction.

Greenpeace exists because this fragile earth deserves a voice. It needs solutions. It needs change. It needs action.

Greenpeace, an international environmental non-government organization, comprises 27 independent national and regional offices across the world covering operations in more than 55 countries. To maintain our independence, Greenpeace does not accept donations from governments or corporations but relies on contributions from individual supporters and foundation grants.

For over 50 years, Greenpeace has been successful in our campaigns to reverse environmental degradation by bearing witness to environmental destruction and exposing and confronting environmental abuses. Greenpeace campaigns have been vital in informing government policies on the environment and effecting changes in business practices, which lead to various environmental problems.

Greenpeace in Southeast Asia

Greenpeace opened its first office in Southeast Asia in 2000. Since then we have led successful campaigns throughout the region, securing fresher air, cleaner water, and a healthier environment through changing industry practices and government policies. Greenpeace actively campaigns across the region on pressing environmental issues concerning our climate, forests, oceans, food, plastic, livable cities, as well as social justice.

Greenpeace has four offices in Southeast Asia (GPSEA)—in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand, with each office is composed of Programme Department (Campaigns, Communications, Public Engagement & Actions), Fundraising, and Operations Support (Human Resources, Finance & Administration, Information Technology, Security). Currently, Greenpeace Southeast Asia employs nearly 200 staff across the region, excluding the Direct Dialogue Fundraisers.
