Abstract
Twenty-first century has been showing heightened interest in the environmental concerns all around the globe irrespective of related fields be it politics, public, or business. The recent interest in environmentalism globally has arisen from specific treaties to combat climate change, owing to the harmful consequences of industrial pollution and waste materials, including toxic chemicals. Governments and NGOs round the globe promoted regulations and policies with effect of slowing down and to some extent even reverse the destruction of natural resources and its negative effect on the mankind and the society as a whole. Human Resource Management (HRM) is an important faction of management that deals with the most valuable assets of an organization which is man power. The whole context of HRM is currently being considered in the light of sustainability all over and Green initiatives within HRM form part of corporate social responsibility. We can say that without facilitating the human resource and implementing sustainable policies, going green would be a hard nut to crack. This article aims to provide simplified insight on some common GHRM processes and attempts to suggest some green initiatives for HR at IT industries in Chennai.
