PT Mitra Pinasthika Mustika Tbk (MPM), one of the leading automotive companies in Indonesia has expanded into retail sales and consumer parts from its initial operations in the motorcycle distribution business. The company, founded in 1987, has since commenced a strategic transformation of the business, shifting the focus of its operations from a largely agency-based business to that of a more principal-driven enterprise.

The transformation led to the acquisition of a car rental company, MPMRent and an automotive financing company, MPMFinance in 2012. MPM has also diversified its ventures to encompass a new insurance business, MPMInsurance. 2013 marked a major milestone for MPM when it listed an initial Public Offering on the Indonesian Stock Exchange.

MPM recognizes that sustainable development is an important and integral part of its operations and business decisions. Its sustainability work is conducted from a holistic perspective, which considers business, social and environmental aspects. 

MPM has pledged to focus on the economic empowerment, education and social progress of communities within the geography of its operations. The company’s corporate social responsibility initiatives (CSR) are determined to ensure that its businesses operate in an ethical and responsible manner. All of MPM Group’s subsidiaries (MPMulia, MPMRent, MPMInsurance), as well as its associate, (JACCS MPMFinance), are united in pursuing sustainable growth to generate maximum corporate and social value, and determined to embed social responsibility into the DNA of their activities. As such, MPM aims to realize its CSR programs through four fundamental pillars, i.e. education, economic empowerment, environment and philanthropy. 

Additionally, MPM formulates and implements its CSR activities by referring to ISO 26000 standards, which provide guidance on social responsibility practices in various aspects such as accountability, transparency, ethical conduct, respect to stakeholders’ interests, adherence to the prevailing laws, respect for international norms and the enforcement of universal human rights.

Every year MPMulia conducts more than 200 safety riding training for students, automotive communities and the general public. In addition, MPM’s LSTC (Life Skill Training Centre) program offers technical automotive training on two and four-wheel vehicles, to vocational school students and public from various regions in Indonesia. The program aims to equip participants with the requisite knowledge and skills to develop quality human resources that can create job opportunities for themselves while reducing the number of unemployed. Indeed, some of the trainees have since found employment at MPM.
