Abstract
This paper explores the pivotal role of Human Resource Management (HRM) in fostering sustainable business practices by integrating environmental and social responsibility into HR policies. In today's rapidly changing business landscape, organizations are increasingly recognizing the importance of sustainability not only for mitigating environmental impacts but also for enhancing their social footprint. HRM, as a strategic function within organizations, plays a crucial role in driving sustainability initiatives by aligning HR policies with environmental and social objectives. This research paper aims to examine the ways in which HRM can contribute to sustainable business practices, including recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, and employee engagement. Drawing on a comprehensive review of existing literature and case studies, this paper identifies key strategies and best practices for integrating sustainability principles into HRM processes. Additionally, it explores the challenges and barriers organizations may encounter in implementing sustainable HRM practices and offers recommendations for overcoming these obstacles. Ultimately, this paper underscores the importance of HRM as a catalyst for organizational sustainability and highlights the potential for HRM to drive positive social and environmental change within organizations.
