People are just too quick to assume it's an apology for reactions when it's for the actions.
Give credit where credit is due

Without reservation Greenpeace apologises to the people of Peru for the offence caused by our recent activity

Not apologizing for the activity there... just for the offence caused by it.

We take personal responsibility for actions

Oh look! They are taking responsibility! But still not sorry.... Anything else in there maybe?

Dr Kumi Niadoo, the International Executive Director of Greenpeace, will travel to Lima this week, to personally apologise for the offence caused by the activity

Nope, still not apologising for the activity, but rather the offence caused by it. They do take responsibility but then again it's hard not to when they already but their name on it.
But wait....
