harm to the environment (Klara, 2016). However, to promote its culture of producing sustainable products and energy sources, activities in
Tesla are bound by a set of values that focus on the need to protect the environment, remain creative and innovative, respect towards others
and also always doing the best. Further, it is these values guiding the company’s operations that facilitate the achievement and maintenance of
the company’s vision of becoming the most compelling car company of the 21st century by driving the world’s transition to electric vehicles.
However, to successfully implement the mission, vision, values, Tesla promotes an organizational structure that allows open and bold
communication between its management, employees and also customers where hierarchies are minimal (Fournier, 2019). Further, the
divisional and functional-based structure also promotes the ease of implementing new strategies that maintain the company’s culture of
sustainability (Higgins, 2018). Conclusively, the introduction of mission-driven projects by the company also facilitates the maintenance of
the company’s culture, which makes the company stand out as one of the leading manufacturers of sustainable products.
