One of Stewart's most notable humanitarian campaigns was alongside Nelson Mandela. They co-created the 46664 campaign, the former prison number of Mandela, who was incarcerated for 27 years in his fight against apartheid in South Africa.

They converted the number into a phone number, allowing listeners to call in and donate, as well as listen to newly recorded songs featuring legends such as Paul McCartney and Bono. The campaign also ran a series of high-profile concerts which raised funds and awareness for the campaign against HIV/AIDs.

Stewart is also a member of the Artists for Action coalition, an initiative that unites musicians, actors, athletes, and various creatives to tackle serious social issues. They work on projects to tackle gun violence and to promote mental health by fostering meaningful connections through art.

He is a key supporter and regular contributor to the Peace One Day events. The day marks the UN's International Day of Peace—a global day of ceasefire and non-violence that has been recognised since 2001.

Always looking for ways to link the arts, Stewart created Weapons of Mass Entertainment, a record label and multimedia company which has been described as a 'media company for the new world'.

Environmental causes are also close to his heart. As such, Stewart has developed a relationship with Greenpeace, with whom he has collaborated on their initiative 'Greenpeace Works', a project that finds ways for celebrities to become involved in social activism in an impactful and long-term manner.

By using music to promote unity and peace, and the global stage to highlight important causes and raise essential funds, Stewart is the perfect role model for how we can use our influence for good. He leads by example and inspires others to help foster a more peaceful and kinder world.

"At a time of unprecedented global suffering, we must come together - beyond borders, beyond politics, beyond creed - to take a stand for peace" - Dave Stewart
