Abstract

The Green HRM is necessary in the current 21st Century on a daily basis, it is reported that because of the excess consumption of natural resources as a raw material by the industries and other commercial organization there is tremendous pressure on the natural resources of planet Earth. The situation is so alarming that the scientist and the environmentalist are discussing the issues of ecological imbalances and the bio-diversity. In every International Conference on environment, the nations are discussing about the carbon credits, global warming and the changes in the climate resulting into earthquakes, frequent floods and vanishing of certain species and animals.

In the environmental literature, the concept of green management for sustainable development has various definitions; all of which generally, seek to explain the need for balance between industrial growth for wealth creation and safeguarding the natural environment so that the future generations may thrive (Daily & Huang, 2001). Nevertheless, the issue of how an individual organization or entire society achieves sustainability from the green management movement is still debatable and unclear. Thus, research on how business may structure their facilities to enhance for sustainability through green management initiatives seems paramount.
