Compliance and Certifications Across Regions

We comply with applicable laws and regulations and maintain relevant certifications across all Group operations to support a safe and secure automotive society.

This includes certifications from importing countries for pre-shipment inspections, ISO certifications to ensure and enhance inspection quality, and vehicle inspection qualifications in New Zealand.

Community Engagement

Our group is committed to fostering harmonious relationships with local communities and advancing a sustainable society where everyone can live safely, thrive, and fully express their unique talents and abilities.

In New Zealand, we have supported initiatives such as traffic safety workshops for children and youth baseball and rugby teams as a sponsoring member.

In Australia, through Autopact’s dedicated foundation, we actively contribute to medical and nursing facilities, provide meals via community kitchens, and support vulnerable groups including cancer patients, survivors of domestic violence, and children.

More recently, we have expanded our efforts to promote inclusivity and empowerment, supporting artists with disabilities and women in motorsports—creating opportunities for people of all genders, ages, and backgrounds to pursue their ambitions.

Our Commitment to Paralym Art

Paralym Art is a social-impact initiative operated by the Organization for Promoting Independence of Persons with Disabilities in Japan. It promotes the social participation and financial independence of artists with disabilities by creating opportunities for their artwork, creativity and perspectives to reach a wider audience.

Optimus Group has been an official partner of Paralym Art since August 2024. Through this partnership, we recognise and value the creativity and perspectives of participating artists and share their work both within and outside the Group. We believe that engaging with diverse forms of expression contributes to a more inclusive society in which individual talents and perspectives are respected.

As part of this ongoing initiative, in FY2026 we commissioned Paralym Art artist KAMIJOUMIKA to create an original artwork for Optimus Group. Through this collaboration, we aim to bring together the artist’s distinctive creativity with themes that reflect our business and our aspirations for the future.

Title

Blast Off from Earth into a Fun-Filled Universe

Artwork Theme

The artwork was created around four key themes: “Cars,” “FUN,” “Safety,” and “Earth / Environment.” Through KAMIJOUMIKA’s distinctive artistic style and perspective, the work depicts a bright future in which mobility connects people, communities and nature, allowing everyone to move forward with a sense of enjoyment and security.
Through this artwork, we aim to share Optimus Group’s commitment to enjoyable and safe mobility, as well as our aspirations for a better future.

Artist’s Comment

This work depicts a scene in which trees grow under the natural light of a great sun, people play happily, and everyone ventures beyond Earth into space, moving around with excitement and joy. I also depicted people in cars waving as they look at rockets, UFOs and aliens. I personally had a great deal of fun drawing space, the sun and people enjoying themselves.

This initiative is organized by SHOUGAISHA JIRITSU SUISHIN KIKOU ASSOCIATION.

Participation and Support for Women in Motorsports

We proudly sponsor a competing team in the 2025 KYOJO CUP, a women’s motorsports event established in 2017 to create opportunities for women to take on challenges and excel in the world of motorsports. Today, the KYOJO CUP is recognised as one of Japan’s premier platforms for women in the sport and continues to evolve year after year.

The event’s concept aligns closely with our core values as a comprehensive automotive services company committed to embracing challenges and championing diversity. Through our ongoing involvement in initiatives like this, we aim to contribute to the creation of a diverse and sustainable society.

Diversity in the Workplace

Optimus Group recognizes that New Zealand and Australia—our key markets—are among the world’s leaders in diversity and inclusion.

With a commitment to sustainable and healthy business growth, we continue to implement human resource policies that value individual experience, skills, and motivation regardless of nationality, age, or gender.
