Abstract

This article explores the dynamics of environmental sustainability and its integrative ability to shape human resource development (HRD) training. Since HRD is about human capital training and development, Jithendran and Baum (2000) asserted that HRD holds the key to sustainability. They argued that since development requires a higher level of quality, and preservation requires attitudes, sensitivities, and practice that can promote environment from the local to the international, both development and preservation falls strictly within the HRD domain. This paper demonstrates that opportunity exists to integrate and orientate sustainability practices in developing human capital. This paper sustains that learning and developmental processes are appropriate mechanisms to facilitate corporate sustainability and pro-environmental practices, which in turn can create an opportunity to develop intellectual capital and by implication source of value creation as well sustainable resource use.
