‘Green’ today has become a buzz word only due to the corporates and the individuals understanding that the consumption levels of resources made by them are higher than what is available. This justifies the fact that there is enough for the world’s need but not enough for the world’s greed. From this emerged the concept of sustainability and greening. Green earlier was important only to the non-governmental organizations because their work style was focused on societal welfare which included the optimal utilization of the available resources. But, slowly the same responsibility of optimally utilizing resources was taken up by various industries. Here, at an industrial level, measures were taken to control pollution and thus, the entire industry worked towards it. However, it was never imagined that the same zeal of going green would percolate to all the management functions of the organizations. The human resource function is one of them has largely adopted this greening factor that leads to the rise of the term or the method of ‘Green Human Resource Management’ also known as GHRM. Today the same is not just a method adopted to reduce the carbon footprint or to optimally utilize resources, but, is also a factor of competitive advantage. It has proved not just sustainability but has also lead to an increase in the profits of the firms along with increased goodwill. The study done on the same lines wishes to fulfill four main objectives, First of them was to identify & explore the awareness levels of Green HRM among the employees in an organization. A sample size of 146 respondents was taken into consideration in order to fulfill this objective. The second one is to analyze the views of employees on Green HRM and its effectiveness in organizational growth and environmental sustainability. The third was to identify a few Green HRM practices incorporated in various corporates across cities in India. The fourth was to understand whether (if yes, how) Green HRM practices impact employees and the environment. The second, third and fourth objectives were fulfilled by conducting this study on a mixture of both public and private sector companies located in Bangalore and Chennai. The study then concludes with suggestions to corporates regarding the implementation of green human resource practices leading to increased profitability.
