Our Mission

The role of sustainability in corporate environments continues to grow as sustainable practices become more essential to shareholder maintenance and public perception. Sustainable HRM can be defined as the adoption of HRM strategies and practices that enable the achievement of financial, social and ecological goals, with an impact inside and outside of the organization and over a long-term time horizon while controlling for unintended side effects and negative feedback.

As companies become more invested in maintaining sustainable commitments, rather than simply displaying espoused “eco-friendly” goals, human resource professionals will have an increasing role in employee relations that deal with issues of sustainability.

Human resource management in conjunction with sustainability is an emerging field that is crucial in our constantly developing industrialized society and economy. Finding correlations between sustainable business practices and positive work environments can help push the industry forward and support better sustainable practices.
