We have witnessed the voluntary contributions made by successful companies across the globe like Microsoft, BP, Tata, ITC, and Wipro towards Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) even before the time when there were no conventions or decrees connected to CSR. Researchers have contended that workforces must be enthused, empowered, and environmentally cognizant of greening to bring out green HRM initiatives and hence, it calls for a high level of technical and management skills in employees. Green HRM is a strategy to stimulate the defensible use of resources within the organization and more commonly encourages the causes of environmental sustainability. The Corporate management has to keenly support to creation green workforce that can recognize and appreciate green culture in an organization. They should adopt new strategies in green HRM and implement them in job analysis, recruitment, training, etc. The main purpose of this study is to reconnoiter the contemporary strategy and its implications in today‟s business. Further, it is expected that the study will lead to understanding and propagating green HRM in organizations across the globe.
