A Study on Implementation of Green HRM Practices of Various Organisations in Chennai City

There is an increasing emphasis on integrating environmental considerations into Human Resource
Management (HRM), giving rise to what is known as Green HRM initiatives. Green HRM involves
leveraging employee-related practices to encourage sustainable operations, build environmental
awareness, and support organizations in functioning responsibly toward the planet. It primarily
includes two key components: implementing eco-friendly HR policies and safeguarding organizational
knowledge related to sustainability.
The aim of this study is to examine the current landscape and challenges associated with Green HRM
practices in Chennai city, a topic that remains relatively underexplored. The paper focuses on
understanding how companies in Chennai are adopting Green HRM, the level of awareness
surrounding these practices, and the pace at which they are being implemented. It also evaluates the
effectiveness of these initiatives within the Indian context. Overall, this research contributes to the
growing need to analyse Green HRM in developing and emerging economies such as India.
