Abstract

While organizations struggle with the intensifying effects of climate change, incorporating sustainability into fundamental business functions has become essential. GHRM then becomes a key framework for aligning human capital with sustainable objectives, developing sustainable culture, and promoting organizational resilience. This chapter discusses the premises of GHRM, exploring its theoretical bases, essential elements, and its central role in driving climate change mitigation and resilience initiatives. Based on theoretical lenses (different theories) GHRM covers the conventional practices such as recruitment, training, performance management, employee compensation and occupational health and safety from a climate resilience approach perspective. The chapter uses Patagonia and Unilever among other good businesses to show how GHRM may drive environmental performance, employee engagement, and corporate resilience. The chapter concludes by describing the road map for GHRM in terms of cooperation, employee empowerment, and link to other CSR activities.
