Becoming the world’s most sustainable event

“We have a vision to become the most sustainable event in the world, we need a strong partnership with the city of Cannes and the Palais to achieve this. We fully support what you’re doing at the Palais.”

“The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity is a communications award, and winning a Lion is life-changing. It’s something very important for people in our industry. The awards ceremony at the Palais, when people win their Lions and walk the red carpet: there’s no equivalent in the world!”
