Recently, it has been observed that there is an increasing awareness within the corporates on the significance of going green and adopting various environment-friendly management techniques. The corporate world is experiencing a shift from a conventional-based economy to a modern capacity-based economy by exploring the green economic facets, thus competing with the global world. Green human resource management (green HRM) has resulted in a key business strategy in many organisations where human resource departments play an active role in going green in their organisations. The present study largely focuses upon the various green HR practices which can be pursued by the organisation towards employee commitment. The present study also adds extant literature to discuss the future direction of some green HRM functions. Finally, the study suggests the potentially prolific HR initiatives that could be implemented for green organisations.
