Environmental sustainability has emerged as a critical agenda in global corporate strategies. Human Resource Management (HRM), traditionally concerned with talent acquisition, development, and retention, now plays a pivotal role in advancing environmental goals. This paper explores the strategic integration of environmental management into HR practices—termed Green Human Resource Management (GHRM). It examines how HR functions like recruitment, training, performance management, and employee engagement can embed ecological principles to drive organizational sustainability. The study underscores the benefits, challenges, and best practices of green HRM, proposing a framework for organizations seeking to align their people strategy with environmental objectives.
