Home > About Friends of the Earth > Trust and Limited
Friends of the Earth is two distinct organisations:
We're a charity and a limited company because it gives us the flexibility to be as effective as possible.
As a result of regulatory changes in 2004 charities can now campaign politically - as long as it doesn't become the main way of carrying out their work.
That means we can run most of our campaigns under Friends of the Earth Trust.
Both Friends of the Earth Trust and Limited are committed to the
of the environment.
When the primary focus of our work is political - like influencing political parties and business practices - this is carried out by Friends of the Earth Limited.
Most of our work - campaigning, research, education and publishing - is carried out by Friends of the Earth Trust.
All our work is clearly identified as either Friends of the Earth Trust or Friends of the Earth Limited.
