Enabling the Realization of Dreams

We support people and organizations that focus on our four pillars: Family, Environment, Engineering and Education. This allows us to make a positive contribution to Canadians everywhere.
We help charities that support children and their families in times of need, and we help fund programs that create learning opportunities for families as a whole.

    New Social Campaign Targets Distracted Driving

    Honda is encouraging safer driving habits through a new social media campaign titled #PhoneDownEyesUp in support of Distracted Driving Awareness month. Since distracted driving is a form of multitasking, Honda is launching a new social media video series demonstrating the difficulty and danger in trying to do two things at once.

    The #PhoneDownEyesUp campaign features six 20-second videos that bring to life the simple premise of the campaign — if you can't text and complete an easy task, you certainly can't text and drive. Each video shares a similar concept, using relatable experiences to show people the difficulty of trying to text while participating in typical everyday activities such as cutting hair, gardening, making pancakes, pet sitting, vacuuming and working out. The   #PhoneDownEyesUp 'Distracted Texting' videos will be shared and promoted on multiple so​cial media channels including Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.​

    The videos will run in the month of May.

    Honda Commitment to Safety
    Honda has a long history of leadership in the development of advanced technologies designed to enhance the safety of all road users, including automobile occupants, motorcycle riders and pedestrians. Today, Honda is working toward its vision for a "zero-collision society" and is targeting a 50 percent reduction in fatalities in its vehicles by 2020, compared to 2000 levels, and zero fatalities in Honda vehicles by 2040.

    Toward this goal, the company is broadly applying its Honda Sensing™ suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive   technologies that can help mitigate the potential for or severity of a collision. Thanks in part to the widespread   application of Honda's next-generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, Honda is also among the industry leaders in earning top collision safety ratings from the U.S. government and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), including top IIHS collision-safety ratings for Honda's five core models – Accord, Civic, CR-V, Pilot and Odyssey.
