Ny millioninnsprøytning for Bellona
Men ikke alt er fryd og gammen av den grunn.
In a significant development for Bellona's environmental foundation, 3.8 million kroner in long-standing debt has been paid off by private advisory firm Accelerate Capital to Bellona Holding, one of the foundation's subsidiaries. Bellona's daily leader, Sveinung Rotevatn, confirmed the payment in an email to E24, highlighting the challenging financial situation the organization faces.
The company had previously taken loans to its subsidiary Bellona Holding, which in turn lent money to Accelerate Capital, leading to a debt of nearly four million kroner owed to Bellona Holding. This debt was not repaid and was converted into a loan in 2025. Despite the tough financial times, Rotevatn described the current situation as manageable, emphasizing the foundation's commitment to addressing its debt burden.
However, the foundation's 2025 annual report remains two months behind schedule and has yet to be audited due to the organization's precarious financial state. Rotevatn noted that the delay was a result of the severe economic situation and the thoroughness required by the auditor and the board to ensure a comprehensive review of the financial year.
