The sustainability of the world is today threatened by the carelessness in actions of humans and organizations towards the environment. The objective of this study is to find out the role of those HR practices that lead to environmental sustainability. For this purpose,the study takes the banking sector for its evaluation. The main variables selected by this study, which are tested for their impact on environmental sustainability, are green recruitment, green training and development, green reward management system, and green performance management practice. The study selects a random sample of 122 respondents from different banks. ANOVA is used to test the relationship between dependent and independent variables. Results show that all the independent variables significantly affect the dependent variable in the banking industry. The study recommends banks adopt GHRM practices, including job rotation, conducting training and workshops, and setting green targets for everyone.
