The Good Report Celebrates The Best Campaigns For Social Responsibility 2017

The Good Report is a unique ranking of the world’s best use of creative communications to promote  sustainability  and  social  responsibility  to  raise  awareness  of major  social  and  environmental issues. It is created in collaboration between ACT Responsible, the international non-profit association and largest global source of the world’s best ads on social and environmental  issues, and Gunn Report, the global index of creative excellence in advertising.

A total of 1045 campaigns produced by 680 agencies for 850 advertisers from 80 countries were evaluated for  this  latest  Good  Report.  The  ranking  is  created  by combining  the  industry’s  recognition  with  the performance measured by the Gunn Report, as well as the promotional effort behind the campaigns and the general public’s recognition from public votes organized by ACT Responsible. There is no complicated criteria or categories, just great work for Good.  

The Good Report 2017 is made-up of 40 campaigns, of which 31 are for NGO’s, institutions and foundations and  9  are  for  commercial  brands.  The  top  25 agencies  are  made  up  of  three  independents  and  22 networked agencies. In the top 20 Networks list there are three independent networks and 17 networks owned by holding companies; and the top 10 Advertisers include six NGO’s/Institutions and four for-profit companies.

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

For 17 years now, Act Responsible has collected the best ads promoting sustainability & social responsibility in  order to highlight the use of creativity to raise awareness of the world’s major issues. Still, hardly any specific recognition is offered to agencies that give time and talent to support the communication of public interest   causes.   Nonetheless,   the  commitment   of  communication   professionals   to  these   causes   is fundamental; good causes need campaigns to create awareness of their existence.

Act  Responsible  has  created  «The  Good  Report»  in  collaboration  with  Gunn  Report,  to  celebrate  the wonderful work and dedication that thousands of agencies are making to support these major causes, in order to further motivate and inspire creativity as well as the continued production of new campaigns.

“With The Good Report, ACT Responsible continues its mission of promoting, inspiring and federating the communications industry for the greater Good. We truly believe advertising has a major role in educating and promoting good to help make the world a better place and we are proud the celebrate this work every year. Producing The Good Report with the collaboration of the Gunn Report Team is a great privilege” says Hervé de Clerck, ACT Responsible Dream Leader.

“Act Responsible honours the hugely valuable job our industry does, throughout the year in countries all round the world, in multiplying  the impact and effectiveness  of communications  for Good Causes.   The Good Report adds a commendable extra dimension to their mission and we are proud to be a part of it,” says Emma Wilkie, managing director of Gunn Report.
