Abstract: The present research study is an exploration into the process of integration of Green HRM strategy and its implications for sustainable performance at Central Coalfields Limited (CCL), Ranchi. As of the leading Miniratna subsidiaries of Coal India Limited, CCL works in the energy intensive field of coal mining, where it is important to make a shift towards sustainability for long term growth and survival. In this respect, the research study focuses on the significant research gap, that is the issue of application of HR measures that are focused on humans. Using, a quantitative approach in research methodology, data was collected using a sample size of 59 employees from the headquarter of CCL in Ranchi. In this analysis, descriptive statistic were used to describe the demographic scenario while inferential statistics, regression analysis were employed to analyse the hypothesis. It was found that there exists a statistically significant positive correlation between GTD and sustainable performance. Important discoveries include the fact that only 18.2% of employees consider Green HRM to be costly affair while 81.8% believe that it is a cost-effective tool. Another, key finding shows that 95.5% of the participants strongly support the idea that green policies are well aligned with company’s core purpose and values. At the same time, the study has found the presence of a perception gap concerning the impact that green activities have on career progress as 47.4% of employees have no clear understanding of how these two aspects are related. Concluding the project, it should be stated that although the company succeeded in cultivating high environmental consciousness among workers, it is necessary to move further and create specific Green HRM and rewarding systems to make CCL the leading organisation in sustainable energy production.
