The story of Bellona
Many tough battles have been won throughout the last ten years, but the war is still not over. The weapons applied have gone through a change of character, and so has Bellona by being able to adjust oneself, or in fact stay ahead. Strategically, many alliances have been formed in order to attain a mutual goal; alliances of great surprise to many, but nonetheless, alliances yielding great results. The combination of knowledge and ability to take action has established Bellona as a central, operational unit within the Norwegian opinion.
Environmental concerns have become a part of people’s everyday life. We see laws being passed, implementing a change of direction, and even experience that the financial powers slowly start to state environmental demands when they are about to invest their money. Ten years ago Bellona formulated the concept "environmental crime", a concept to be found in any dictionary today. It is now that "the environmental capital" is being created, and the alliance between environmentalists and environmentally interested capitalists will have to gain new results. The stock exchange will turn green!
