2016: Greenpeace published the restricted TTIP trade agreement, making it accessible to the public here in a reading room at the Brandenburg Gate

Do you know about environmental crimes or dirty dealings with weapons and wish to report this information to Greenpeace confidentially?

Here is an overview of secure ways to communicate with Greenpeace's investigative team.

Environmental crimes are committed in secret, but people who were somehow involved in the circumstances are aware of them. Witnesses often take personal risks as they face conflicting loyalties to an employer's (or someone else's) interests and their own conscience. But it's important to make such information public.

That's why it's our top priority to protect whistleblowers. This website describes various communication channels and gives instruction on their use to help you contact Greenpeace anonymously and securely.
