Greenpeace International's main legal entity is "Stichting Greenpeace Council" (SGC). It is a Dutch stichting – a foundation-type non-profit entity – based in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The entity is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under nr. 41200515; its RSIN (tax) number is 006623207.

FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT:

“Greenpeace” refers to the global network of 26 independent national/regional Greenpeace organisations (NROs) plus Greenpeace International as a coordinating and supporting organisation for the global network.

 National and/or regional organisations refers to the independent Greenpeace organisations operating in countries around the world. The independent legal entities each have their own Executive Director and supervisory board. Greenpeace International does not exercise control over NROs, but does facilitate coordination across the global network. This includes facilitating the development of global Greenpeace standards and policies, which NROs adopt according to local realities and needs.

 The use of "we" and "us" or "our(s)" in this report may refer to GPI (Stichting Greenpeace Council) or the global Greenpeace network, depending on context.
