Greenpeace Pictures of the Week

Oil company war profiteering, a deep arctic expedition, and a planned megafarm in Spain. Here are some images from Greenpeace work around the world over the past week.

🇬🇧 U.K. – Greenpeace UK activists project the truth about the source of Shell’s huge profits onto their global headquarters by the Thames in London as well as next to a Shell petrol station. The projections include the messages “They Profit We Pay”, “War Profiteers”, “At Least We are Making Billions”, “War Profits HQ” and “Making a killing”.

🇬🇷 Greece – Damaged component on board the ship Mystere, part of the Global Sumud Flotilla, found adrift by Greenpeace after the flotilla was illegally intercepted in international waters by Israeli forces as they attempted to break the long standing illegal blockade of Gaza.

🇮🇪 Ireland – Greenpeace marine biologist and chief scientist Dr. Sandra Schöttner onboard a research vessel departing Ireland this week en route to the Arctic.

Greenpeace will deploy an ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) to a depth of 3000m to gather scientific evidence of the diversity, distribution and connectivity of fauna in Arctic deep-sea ecosystems in the mining area – with particular focus on vulnerable, rare, endemic and undescribed species – in order to trigger international, regional and national conservation protocols. The expedition will be live-streamed via this page.

🇸🇳 Senegal – Facing Down Bullies, a Greenpeace campaign push against the Energy Transfer SLAPP case against Greenpeace International and USA. Greenpeace Africa volunteers in Congo unite in solidarity, raising their voices against corruption, corporate greed, and authoritarianism. Together, we speak out and take action to defend our rights, freedoms, and environment – because power belongs to the people.

🇪🇸 Spain- Greenpeace Spain opposes the construction of a large-scale poultry farm in San Clemente (Cuenca) that would house nearly a million hens.

🇳🇴 Norway – Ahead of the 2026 Equinor AGM, Greenpeace Norway activists project messages on the head office in Stavanger, Norway to protest the obscene profits made since the start of the Iran war pushed up global oil prices.

🇳🇱 Netherlands – Greenpeace Netherlands activists have disrupted the first-ever shareholder meeting of meat giant JBS in the Netherlands. At the Sheraton Hotel at Schiphol Airport, where the meeting took place, activists hung a banner dripping with fake blood that read: ‘JBS: Keep your bloody business out of Africa’. Activists entered the meeting hall, where Greenpeace Director Marieke Vellekoop personally served an information request to the JBS CEOs. This document formally signals that Greenpeace Netherlands is taking legal action against the company. The goal of the legal battle is to block JBS’s destructive expansion plans in Nigeria.

Greenpeace has been a pioneer of photo activism for more than 50 years, and remains committed to bearing witness and exposing environmental injustice through the images we capture.
