Act Responsible considers that advertising recognition is too often confined to its commercial side and that the other part of its role – informing, raising awareness and educating – is often forgotten.

For 15 years, it has collected the best ads promoting sustainability & social responsibility to highlight how creativity
is used to raise awareness on the world’s major issues.

“With The Good Report, ACT Responsible continues its mission of promoting, inspiring and federating the communications industry for the greater Good. Producing The Good Report with the collaboration of The Gunn Report Team is a great privilege for all “good” agencies around the globe” explained Hervé de Clerck, ACT Responsible Dream Leader.

“The ACT Responsible Expo is one of the biggest treats in store at Cannes Lions each year. It honours the hugely valuable job our industry does – every day of the year in countries all round the world – in multiplying the impact and effectiveness of communications for Good Causes. The Good Report (the name has a ring to it) adds a commendable new dimension to their mission” Donald Gunn, Founder and ACT’ive Partner.
