Globalisation:Green Alliance: Funding and connections
Funding and Connections: The Green Alliance is a non governmental think tank which communicates between government and corporations with regards to economic policy. The group relies on funding from other bodies both from the private sector and government. Companies such as ASDA Sainsbury’s, BP and Shell all support the Green Alliance financially. In 2008, the partners of the Green Alliance within the business sector accounted for 46% of the groups funding. 17% was financed by government groups whilst the rest was paid by funds, other NGO’s and individuals [1]. The Green Alliances connections between government and business do not end financially with MPs and former employees of the said corporations occupying positions within the Green Alliance.
