Åpner for å bla opp nye millioner til Bellona

Stian Rustad, the founder and investor of Bellona, has expressed his willingness to support the environmental organization again if it finds itself in financial trouble once more. Rustad, who contributed millions in the recent rescue efforts, highlighted Bellona's importance and competence, praising its approach of considering both businesses as part of the problem and part of the solution.

The Norwegian environmental foundation Bellona has recently fallen into financial difficulties, after breaching a monthly debt reduction agreement with its Berlin division and receiving a formal warning of misconduct. Rustad, who played a role in the summer rescue efforts, is open to contributing more funds to Bellona if needed.

He emphasized that he has invested "a few million" in the organization, both indirectly through loans and directly through the summer rescue efforts. However, he declined to disclose the exact amount. Rustad is known for founding 24SevenOffice, which was sold to KKR for 2.4 billion USD in 2024, and his current involvement in Done.ai. He has also considered moving to Switzerland to avoid the Norwegian tax system.
