Businesses have realised that they must develop a powerful social conscience and green sense of onus where corporate responsibility is not an altruistic nice to have, but a critical business need. The HR function is the driver of environmental sustainability within the organisation. There is a need for integration of environmental management into human resource management and to accomplish this, the HR professionals are crafting and executing eco-policies and strategies. The green human resource management (green HRM) has begun to appear from companies engaging in practices connected to preservation of environment and maintaining ecological equilibrium.

This paper will provide insight about the degree to which Gen Y cares about health of the planet earth and Gen Y's perception about the organisations practising green hiring practices, performance management and reward and recognition, the key factors evolved from the study.
