Corporate Social Responsibility

Charitable donations

Since its creation in 2010, Octane Racing Group has donated over 1.5 M $ to charitable organizations.
Though we support organizations in different spheres, the majority of our donations can be slated into four categories:
• Sports Development
• Health
• Food aid
• Equality and equity

Employee involvement

Octane Racing Group encourages its employees to support charitable organizations that are dear to them.

Over a dozen charitable organizations benefit from the time generous donated by Octane Racing Group employees.

Charity events

La Grande Marche 2017-2018-2019

Come walk on the site of the biggest sporting event in the country during the Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada weekend. All proceeds will be given to Heart and Stroke.

For three days, Montréal is decked out in the colours of the most celebrated F1 teams as enthusiastic crowds from across the globe cheer on the greatest drivers in the world. Fans will have the opportunity to experience what the drivers experience during the Grand Prix, an entirely new opportunity. See the rubber tracks that were left by the cars that were on track that day, the grandstand that will have already started to welcome thousands of fans, touch the walls and the curbs. All for a good cause.
