Abstract. Sustainable development of a transport corporation is achieved through a consistent and balanced improvement of its economic and environmental performance indicators. This is largely facilitated by reducing fuel consumption by corporate vehicles, which saves costs and decreases harmful emissions into the environment. In this regard, a three-level structure for managing fuel consumption in a transport corporation is considered under uncertainty caused by both random external factors and the undesirable activity of corporate employees associated with their private goals not coinciding with the goal of the entire corporation. The top level of this structure is the Principal, the middle level is the Intendant, responsible for fuel consumption in a corporate division, and the bottom level is the Driver of a corporate vehicle. The sustainable behavior of corporate employees––the Intendant and Driver––to reduce fuel consumption within their competence is modeled. An organizational mechanism for the Intendant’s sustainable behavior is developed, including supervised learning procedures for the Principal and incentive procedures for the Intendant. An organizational mechanism for the Driver’s sustainable behavior is also proposed: the Principal provides the Intendant with supervised learning opportunities and delegates his authority to incentivize the Driver. As proven, the integration of these two mechanisms reduces fuel consumption and ensures sustainable development of the transport corporation. In addition, the sustainable behavior of corporate employees––the Intendant and Driver—ensures the sustainability of the entire corporation. The results are illustrated by an example of the fuel consumption management mechanism in JSC Russian Railways.
