Abstract
This paper is based on corporate governance
and sustainability with a special focus on strategic and
green human resource management and sustainability. The
paper goes step by step to bring out the historical
perspectives of corporate governance and sustainable
development in Africa as well as the introduction of
corporate governance and its relevance to sustainable
development. Various corporate governance dimensions
are well articulated to bring out how each dimension
contributes to sustainable development. The study also
discusses the highlights of strategic human resource
management and how it connects to green human resource
management in order to increase sustainability. Some
anchoring theories to underpin the various topical issues
have also been presented and towards the end tail, the role
of women in board membership as an integral part of
corporate governance is captured. It might be very difficult
to have sustainable development without the full
participation of women. This paper took the approach of a
desk review of studies done on corporate governance and
green human resource management for purposes of
bringing out the sustainability component. The paper
illustrates various dimensions of governance that can
enhance sustainability through inclusivity, particularly of
women in corporate board membership as well as public
sector boards so that women can be part of strategic
decision making. It further explores the use of legal rights
and human rights as well as technology and innovation that
can be leveraged to inculcate green human resource
management practices with a view to capturing
development for posterity which is critical for growth and
advancement in economies in Africa
