AB  - Protecting natural resources for future generations has become an important concern in the debates among
policymakers and institutions. Sindh is the third largest province by geography and the second most urbanised province,
located in the southeast of Pakistan. This study aims to empirically analyse the role of green human resource
management practices on environmental sustainability in higher educational institutions in Sindh, Pakistan, particularly
those offering degrees and responsible for research in textile engineering and fashion design. Further, we explore
whether green innovation as a potential mediator stimulates the relationship between green human resource
management and environmental sustainability. We employed a quantitative research technique and retrieved data from
376 respondents who are employees of higher education institutions. This study for analysis used SPSS 26 and partial
least squares based on structural equation modelling (SEM). Our outcomes suggested that green human resource
management promotes environmental sustainability. Notably, green recruitment and selection (0.384) exerts the
strongest influence on environmental sustainability, followed by green training and development (0.341), green
compensation and reward (0.232) lastly green performance management (0.184) also contribute positively to
environmental sustainability. All relationships observed in the study were statistically significant (p<0.05). The current
study finds that green innovation partially mediates the relationships between all constructs and plays a crucial role in
enhancing environmental sustainability. This study provides insightful recommendations for educational institutions
currently operating in Pakistan and other emerging economies to achieve sustainability objectives. It also promotes
eco-friendly practices and raises awareness among stakeholders, contributing to the achievement of environmental
sustainability.
