Celebrating Creativity & Champions of Good.

ACT Tributes for Good.

In 2004, we launched the Tributes to Creativity for Good with the support of Bernard Brochand, former Mayor of Cannes and Chair of DDB Worldwide. The initiative aimed to build a meaningful connection between the citizens of Cannes and the exhibition hosted in their city.

In 2018, we introduced the Tributes to Champions of Good to recognize and unite bold, courageous leaders and changemakers—individuals who connect, collaborate, and continuously drive meaningful progress in our industry toward a more just and sustainable future.

In partnership with

Hervé de Clerck

ACT Responsible DreamLeader

“This is not an Award. There is no competition and there is no winner. The goal of this Tribute is simply to acknowledge those champions, highlight clever and creative programs, share best practices and inspire others.”

Tributes to Champions.

ACT Tributes also celebrates four Champions of Good who have made an significant impact on social and environmental issues and helped improve the world through personal contributions or creative campaigns.
