Responsible Operations
 

The systematic management of safety, health, reliability and efficiency to achieve benchmark performance is defined as Operational Excellence (OE). A culture of OE is embedded throughout Caltex, which places the highest priority on the health and safety of our workforce, and the protection of our assets and the environment.


We are committed to producing quality products and ensuring clean, safe and reliable operations.

The nature of Caltex's products and the way we produce them mean we have significant environmental accountabilities. Vehicles are a major source of emissions, but using cleaner fuels will help reduce Australian greenhouse emissions over time.  That's why we've invested $500 million in upgrading our refineries to produce fuels that are lower in sulphur and benzene, and account for some of the cleanest fuels in the world.

Product stewardship also forms an integral part of our licence to operate. We recognise the need to manage products throughout their lifecycle, meeting legal and regulatory requirements and performance expectations, and effectively communicating the necessary information to customers.


Australian Packaging Covenant

Caltex is a signatory to the Australian Packaging Covenant (APC). We are committed to achieving the goals we have set and to report our progress against these goals.

While Australia has developed one of the most comprehensive and cost-effective approaches to the environmental management of used consumer packaging, Caltex recognises the need for continual improvement and cooperation across industry and all levels of government. The Covenant is a key element to achieving environmental benefits and provides a platform for Caltex to improve the sustainability of our retail network.

Sydney Jet Fuel Pipeline Upgrade Project

Caltex Australia is investing to upgrade its jet fuel pipeline infrastructure supplying Sydney Airport.  This investment aims to deliver additional fuel capacity in order to help meet the industry's demand forecasts.

The works include:
  • the installation of new pumps on the Caltex Kurnell Refinery site;
  • replacement of around 1.5km of existing piping from the refinery boundary to Caltex's wharf on the southern side of Botany Bay; and
  • the installation of new booster pumps, piping modifications and an electrical switch room within Caltex's Banksmeadow terminal.
The Jet Fuel Pipeline Upgrade project has been approved by the NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure. The project final determination and associated management plans can be downloaded here.
 
The Environmental Assessment for the project, prepared under the provisions of Part 3A of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, is available on the NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure website http://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/.
 
Caltex has consulted with Commonwealth, state and local government agencies as well as representatives of the local communities around Botany Bay and Kurnell regarding the project, and we will continue to provide updates on project progress.
