It wasn’t her mother’s PR Agency, it was a non-profit foundation, which she (Greta) resigned from when she realised it was using her name image without her knowledge or permission.

Greta Thunberg: Has no contact with the company anymore

Entrepreneur Ingmar Rentzhog apologizes to Greta Thunberg after SvD's review, which showed that his company used her as a tie for a new share issue that attracted over SEK 10 million.

- I have no contact with the company anymore. Not my family either, writes Greta Thunberg on Facebook on Monday night.

The attention has been great following SvD's article that the company We Don't Have Time had the climate phenomenon Greta Thunberg as a drawback in a new issue which has drawn in over SEK 10 million - without the family's knowledge.

A Swedish climate startup admitted to using teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg to attract investments without her knowledge.

The company, called We Don't Have Time, rejected accusations by Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet that it had exploited 16-year-old Thunberg, but did admit that it “failed to inform the Thunberg family in advance that Greta would be mentioned in our financial prospectus, a document aimed at raising funds for the company."

Chief Executive Ingmar Rentzhog said the company is "very sorry that we didn’t inform them of this." We Don't Have Time describes itself as a "good-cause company," which is building a for-profit climate-focused social media network. "Our goal is to become the Facebook of climate change," the founders say in a blog post.

Greta's father Svante Thunberg told POLITICO over the phone that neither Greta nor her parents had been informed by the company. "They have confessed that they've not told us. Greta has not been informed and nobody has informed me or her mother."

Svante Thunberg said Greta won't take part in any organizations, whether voluntary or otherwise, to ensure her independence. "She does not receive any money and she will not receive any money," he said.

That says it all, really. Children are easily manipulated, either by their parents or by their teachers quite often. Until they have experienced life a bit and realise that things are not as straight forward as they thought, they are not really in a position to make these big judgements on issues.

It is only natural for them to accept what adults tell them. These are the people they trust.

You’re right - Sir David Attenborough is very wise.
