The Good Report is compiled by Act Responsible, the international non-profit association and a source of the world's best ads for social and environmental issues, in collaboration with Warc, a global marketing insights company.

The Good Report rankings are produced by combining the results of the recently published Warc Creative 100 with Act Responsible initiatives: Great Ads for Good Exhibition, the Care Awards, TV show One minute of Responsibility, Tributes (public vote) and the Good Ad Gallery.
