Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM) has gained increasing attention as a crucial driver of corporate sustainability, integrating environmental responsibility into human resource policies and practices. This study employs a bibliometric analysis using data from the Scopus database to map the intellectual landscape of Green HRM and its connection to corporate sustainability. The findings reveal that Green HRM is strongly linked to key sustainability dimensions, including employee green behavior, corporate social responsibility, and green innovation. The co-authorship analysis highlights leading scholars and research collaborations across different regions, with China, the United Kingdom, and Australia playing central roles in shaping the discourse. However, challenges persist in measuring the long-term impact of Green HRM, aligning it with corporate strategy, and expanding international research collaboration. This study emphasizes the need for empirical validation, interdisciplinary research, and the integration of digital transformation in Green HRM practices. By addressing these gaps, Green HRM can serve as a transformative tool for fostering corporate sustainability and achieving long-term environmental and business goals.
