Increment in number of industries had given rise to the use of machinery and other heavy equipments - which in turn, used fuels as source of energy, which is the reason for environmental degradation. To save our environment from hazards and to achieve environmental sustainability by adopting green practices it is a high time to become aware about the green concept. The paper tries to explain about Green HR Concept, its importance, its meaning, what are the reasons for greening, ways to make Human Resource functions green and some previous studies on Green HRM conducted by various researchers. The paper will enhance knowledge, awareness, better understanding about the green management idea.
