Abstract:
The food industry in Pakistan, like its global counterparts, faces mounting pressure to adopt sustainable practices to mitigate environmental impact. In order to achieve sustainable practices in this industry, this thesis explores the interaction between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and green human resource management (green HRM), with a focus on the mediating role of employee commitment. The study used a quantitative surveys and interviews to obtain perspectives from a wide range of workers and executives in Pakistani food-related companies. The goal of the study is to gauge employee commitment as a mediator between CSR and Green HRM activities and sustainability practices, as well as how widely adopted these practices are. Through the examination of these variables, the research advances our understanding of the ways in which employee commitment, Green HRM practices, and CSR activities work together to affect the incorporation of sustainable practices in Pakistan's food business. The study's conclusions have application for companies in this field, providing direction on how to improve sustainability initiatives through the use of CSR and green human resource management strategies. This thesis provides valuable insights that can guide the path toward a more sustainable and responsible future, making it an invaluable resource for academics, business leaders, policymakers, and all stakeholders involved in the food industry in Pakistan in a world where environmental stewardship is becoming increasingly important.
