Summary/Abstract: The genesis of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), often interchangeably referred to as corporate citizenship or sustainability, can be traced back to the foundational 1987 Brundtland Report, a pivotal document commissioned by the United Nations. This report catalyzed a paradigm shift, positioning CSR as a multidimensional construct that necessitates the harmonious integration of an organization’s economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic imperatives. Over time, CSR has evolved into a framework that aligns corporate strategies, operations, and behaviors with the overarching goals of fostering sustainability, encapsulated in the triadic principles of planet, people, and profit. This paper delves into the intricate dynamics that compel organizations to embrace environmentally conscious or "green" organizational cultures. Research suggests that corporate entities often undergo transformative shifts in their philosophies to adapt to the demands of an ever-evolving global environment, heavily influenced by the imperatives of corporate sustainability initiatives. These green frameworks reconceptualize the strategic role of human resources, positioning it as a pivotal driver in cultivating organizational cultures that prioritize innovation and differentiate technical competencies. By embedding sustainability at the core of their operational ethos, organizations are not only enhancing their adaptability but are also fostering an ecosystem conducive to technological advancement and innovative excellence.
