Green Human Resource Management Practices in Bangladesh: A Case Study on PeopleScape Ltd.

Abstract

This report, titled “Green Human Resource Management Practices in Bangladesh: A Case Study on PeopleScape Ltd.” presents a comprehensive analysis of how PeopleScape Ltd. a forward-thinking HR consultancy in Bangladesh, integrates environmental responsibility into its human resource management strategies. As sustainability becomes a global priority, Peoplescape has embraced Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM) by adopting eco-friendly practices such as paperless operations, remote work, green training programs, and sustainability-focused performance goals. While Green HRM remains a relatively new concept in Bangladesh, the company's efforts demonstrate that environmentally conscious HR practices are both practical and impactful. Drawing on interviews, observations, and internal data, the study finds that these green initiatives enhance employee morale, strengthen the company's public image, and improve operational efficiency. At the same time, challenges such as limited resources and the need for stronger policy support are acknowledged. Overall, PeopleScape Ltd. serves as a promising example for small and medium-sized enterprises aiming to align human resource practices with sustainability goals, showing that meaningful change often begins with small, intentional steps led by HR. The findings of this case study offer valuable insights not only for HR professionals but also for policymakers and business leaders looking to promote sustainability in Bangladesh’s corporate landscape. As environmental concerns continue to rise, adopting Green HRM may become not just a choice, but a necessity for future-ready organizations. Peoplescape’s journey highlights the growing need for a mindset shift—from short-term gains to long-term environmental stewardship. The study also calls for greater collaboration between the private sector, government bodies, and educational institutions to build awareness, develop green skills, and create supportive policies that can drive widespread adoption of Green HRM across industries in Bangladesh.
