Abstract


As a political actor, non-governmental organizations have an essential role in the environmental sector. This paper aims to discuss the role of Greenpeace in driving HSBC’s non-deforestation policy in Indonesia. To address deforestation in Indonesia, Greenpeace is pressing HSBC to stop funding and implement a “zero deforestation” policy. In conducting the analysis, the researcher utilized the concept of NGOs and green theory. The concept of NGOs was used to classify Greenpeace as an organization and analyze the role of the organization in the process of making HSBC’s non-deforestation policy. While the green theory was used to see the urgency of the problems of deforestation and the values championed by Greenpeace.
