GREEN MANAGEMENT PRACTICES: A PATHWAY TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Green Management Practices (GMPs) have emerged as a critical strategy for aligning business operations with the principles of environmental sustainability. This paper explores how adopting GMPs—such as waste reduction, energy efficiency, sustainable sourcing, and eco-friendly product design—can contribute to long-term sustainable development. The study underscores the role of corporate responsibility and innovation in minimizing ecological footprints while enhancing economic and social outcomes. It also highlights the importance of stakeholder engagement and regulatory frameworks in driving the successful implementation of green initiatives. Ultimately, integrating green practices into business models not only fosters environmental stewardship but also creates competitive advantages and resilience in an increasingly eco-conscious global market.
