Abstract Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) has emerged as a vital approach for organizations aiming to integrate sustainability into their core operations. By embedding eco-friendly practices within recruitment, training, performance management, and employee engagement, Green Human Resource Management not only reduces environmental impact but also enhances employee commitment, innovation, and organizational reputation. 2 This article examines the concept and scope of Green Human Resource Management, supported by scholarly insights and practical frameworks, while also highlighting existing research gaps around long-term implementation and industry-specific challenges. To illustrate its application, the study explores the practices of Zomato (Eternal Limited) and Swiggy, two leading Indian food-tech companies. Zomato advances sustainability through initiatives such as electric vehicle adoption, cutlery reduction, food rescue programs, and inclusive Human Resource policies. Swiggy emphasizes large-scale skilling, renewable energy adoption, partner welfare, and empowering women-led businesses. Although neither company formally labels its initiatives as “Green Human Resource Management,” both clearly demonstrate its principles in practice. 3 The analysis concludes that Green Human Resource Management acts as a bridge between human resource policies and corporate sustainability, making it a strategic necessity for companies seeking responsible growth and long-term competitiveness in a rapidly changing global business environment.
