Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM) has emerged as a significant organizational practice that integrates environmental sustainability with human resource management functions. In the current business environment, organizations are increasingly adopting eco-friendly policies and sustainable practices to enhance environmental performance while promoting employee awareness and participation in environmental conservation activities. This study examines the Green HRM practices adopted by Sri Guru Agro Products and their impact on employee awareness, environmental responsibility, and organizational sustainability. The research focuses on various Green HRM dimensions, including green recruitment and selection, environmental training and development, green performance appraisal, employee involvement in sustainability initiatives, paperless communication systems, energy conservation practices, and waste management programs. A descriptive research design was adopted, and primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to employees of Sri Guru Agro Products. Secondary data were gathered from company records, journals, articles, websites, and relevant publications. The collected data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tools to evaluate the effectiveness of Green HRM practices within the organization. The findings of the study reveal that Green HRM practices positively influence employees' environmental awareness, workplace behavior, and commitment toward sustainability initiatives. Employees expressed favorable opinions regarding the organization's efforts to promote environmentally responsible practices and green workplace culture. The study also highlights that environmental training programs and employee participation in green activities contribute significantly to achieving sustainability objectives. The study concludes that Green HRM practices play a crucial role in supporting environmental sustainability while enhancing employee engagement and organizational effectiveness. It emphasizes the need for continuous improvement in green initiatives and employee participation to achieve long-term environmental and business goals. The findings provide valuable insights for management in developing effective Green HRM strategies that support sustainable growth and strengthen the environmental commitment of Sri Guru Agro Products.

The present study examined the impact of Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM) Practices on Organizational Sustainability with special reference to Sri Guru Agro Products through an empirical investigation involving 100 employees. The findings confirmed that Green HRM practices have a significant positive impact on organizational sustainability. Employees who actively participate in environmental initiatives and support eco-friendly workplace practices contribute positively to the organization's sustainability goals and environmental performance. The statistical analysis revealed a strong positive relationship between Green HRM practices and organizational sustainability. The regression results further indicated that Green HRM practices significantly predict organizational sustainability, confirming the proposed research hypothesis. These findings suggest that organizations can improve environmental performance, resource efficiency, employee engagement, and corporate reputation by implementing effective Green HRM strategies. Overall, the study concludes that Green HRM is a critical factor influencing organizational sustainability. Organizations that invest in environmentally responsible HR practices such as green recruitment, environmental training, employee involvement in sustainability initiatives, energy conservation, and waste management programs are more likely to achieve long-term environmental and business success.
