The source of such initiatives, referred to as green management, is the green movement with its agenda of Protection of Environment and saving the planet Earth from future man made disasters. Green HRM encompasses all activities aimed at helping an organisation carry out its agenda for environment management to reduce its carbon footprint in areas concerning on boarding and acquisition of human resources, their induction, performance management, learning and development and compensation and reward management. Green HRM can play a useful role in business in promoting environment related issues by adopting and following Green HR policies and practices. Green HRM can enhance corporate image and brand. Green HR will play an important role in making the employees aware of and concerned for preservation of natural resources and contribute in pollution control, waste management and manufacture of eco-friendly products.
