Introduction:
The term sustainability is defined as the capability of an entity to continue a behavior for
an indefinite period of time. Environmental sustainability is defined as the position in which the
demands of the people that are placed on the environment can be fulfilled without affecting it
harmfully (Kates and Robert, 2018). It is to be done by recycling and reusing of resources along
with the usage of renewable resources. This is a major area that all the business organizations are
working on and introducing appropriate changes in the organizational structure and operations.
The paper aims to discuss about the influence of environmental sustainability on the
organizational structure of Caltex Oil Company.
About the Company:
Caltex Oil Company was established in 1900 ("Caltex Australia | Fuels, Convenience
Retail & Lubricants", 2018). The company started in the late 1940s when the Australian
importer of oil, Ampol was enlisted on the Australian Securities Exchange ("Our History,”
2018). Both the companies inaugurated their refineries in the 1950s and 1960s respectively.
They were fierce competitors in the market and merged with each other in 1995 to become a
bigger organization. Caltex Oil Company is the biggest importer and provider of fuel in
Australia. They supply one third of the total transport fuel of Australia. Furthermore, they
provide fuel to every sector of the different industries including retail, agriculture, mining,
transport, aviation, and enterprises, marine, automotive and also to the government.
