Drawing on insights from sustainability frameworks and organizational innovation theories, the study examines how Green HRM practices—such as green recruitment, training, and performance management—enhance employees' capacity to innovate in ways that support sustainability initiatives. Through empirical analysis, this paper highlights the synergistic relationship between Green HRM and innovative employee contributions, demonstrating their collective impact on organizational environmental performance.
