Abstract
This paper states that integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria into Human Resource Management (HRM) elevates the function from a conventional support role to a strategic driver of corporate sustainability and long-term performance. Based on a comprehensive literature review and a novel framework grounded in dynamic capabilities theory, the study identifies five key enablers of this transformation: E-HRM for digital integration, Sustainable Human Resource Development (S-HRD) for capability building, organizational agility, ESG-oriented leadership, and Sustainable Financial Analytics (SFA) for data-driven decision-making. Together, these components enable HRM to cultivate an ethical, adaptable, and high-performing workforce. The findings suggest that ESG-embedded HRM enhances profitability, employee well-being, and organizational reputation. The paper concludes with recommendations for managers and proposes avenues for future research on the intersection of HRM and ESG.
