Abstract: This article examines the role of green human resource management (GHRM) in the implementation of environmental strategies and studies its relationship with environmental sustainability performance (ESP). This article has the following five parts: 1) introduction; 2) literature review; 3) research model; 4) discussion and Implications; 5) conclusions. Literature on ESP, seven sub-functions of GHRM and components of green internal intellectual component, namely, environmental management, green human capital, and green organisation culture were reviewed. The treatment of environmental sustainability issues in corporate India was examined. ESP was found to be related to GHRM and other internal fields of green IC. GHRM also has interlinkages with other internal fields of green IC. This article concluded that an integrative approach is required for ESP and that there is a need for robust formulation and implementation of environmental strategies in organisations where these may be at nascent stages. A research model was developed for further testing.
