Summary: Human resource management (HRM) can promote a “sustainability mindset” (Ehnert & Harry, 2012) and contribute to facing the challenges imposed by the difficult management of the economic, social, and environmental spheres. However, there is still a lack of human resources to promote changes for sustainability in organizations (Singh, Olugu, Musa & Mahat, 2018). Thus, in this forum of the RAE-Revista de Administração de Empresas (Journal of Business Management), we invited colleagues to explore the role of green practices in HRM (Jerónimo, Henriques, Lacerda, Silva & Vieira, 2020) and to analyse how HRM contributes to sustainability-oriented performance (Muñoz-Pascual, Galende & Curado, 2020).
