Sustainable Human Resource Management (SHRM) has emerged as a strategic necessity for organizations operating in an era marked by digital transformation, social accountability, and heightened ethical scrutiny. The research designs a unified conceptual structure that integrates multiple dimensions into a coherent framework ethical governance, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and advanced human resource analytics to support long-term organizational sustainability. Ethical principles provide the foundation for fairness, transparency, and inclusivity in HR decisions, while CSR initiatives strengthen employee engagement, organizational commitment, and social legitimacy. Simultaneously, HR analytics enables evidence-based workforce planning, talent retention, and performance optimization through data-driven insights. By examining the interdependence of these dimensions, the paper proposes strategic pathways through which HRM can evolve from a transactional function to a sustainability-driven strategic partner. he research ultimately presents actionable guidance for organizations aiming to embed ethical practices firmly within their structures and day-to-day operations, socially responsible, and analytics-enabled HR practices that foster resilient and future-ready workplaces.
