Sustainable Human Resource Management Practices in Manufacturing Industries

Sustainable Human Resource Management (SHRM) involves embedding sustainability principles in HRM to promote environmental, economic, and social goals within organizations. Manufacturing industries, significant contributors to employment and economic growth in India, face challenges like resource depletion, labor welfare, and environmental compliance. This paper examines SHRM practices in Indian manufacturing firms, focusing on green HRM, employee engagement, health & safety, ethical labor policies, and diversity inclusion. Drawing from secondary data (2024–2025), case studies, and recent surveys, it presents a comprehensive analysis of SHRM adoption levels, benefits, challenges, and future outlook. Visual data and company examples, such as Tata Steel and Mahindra & Mahindra, illustrate key insights.
