Greenpeace exists through the power of our crew. Our crew are our staff, volunteers, activists and the vast numbers of people who share the Greenpeace vision and collectively take action. What we say and do, how we engage in civil society, how we rebel against economic systems, the norms we form and the stories we create build our power as a movement.
We ignite our power through storytelling and organising around these stories. We exist to change mindsets and galvanise people power, to build a new story for the world.

Our approach
This visual style guide is our toolset to launch powerful, unique and impactful campaigns while unifying all aspects under the same visual identity. These graphic and semantic elements form the canvas that conveys what Greenpeace is, who our diverse and powerful crew are and what the Greenpeace Australia Pacific (GPAP) brand stands for. Our brand is a powerful tool, but improper use could be detrimental. These elements should only be used across Greenpeace Australia Pacific approved campaigns and associated partnerships.
Maintaining a unified and consistent visual identity ensures that we are able to:
- Communicate clear and strong messages to our crew;
- Express our values and personality in a consistent way;
- Ensure the right policies are changed and promises kept; and
- Create the hope, opportunities and means to win a just and healthy planet together.
