It has become clear that overcoming global challenges cannot be achieved without the involvement of policy makers and business leaders. In this study, the authors examined the contribution of human resource management to corporate sustainability. This research sought answers to how human resource management contributes to the achievement of environmentally conscious strategic management goals as well as which HRM practices support solving global problems indirectly by improving corporate sustainability. The results of secondary research confirm that human resource management plays a key role in the implementation of sustainable corporate operations and the role of HRM in corporate strategy is becoming more and more decisive. As a result of the spread of sustainable mindset, the traditional goal system of HRM has changed significantly and the sustainability aspects have been embedded in HR functions. The results of the research confirm that the application of sustainable human resource management has a number of positive effects, the benefits of which can be felt not only at the organizational and employee level but also indirectly at the level of local communities.
