Egypt’s industrial sector accounts for roughly 15 % of the national gross domestic product and has grown rapidly in recent years, expanding the number of industrial zones from 121 in 2014 to 147 by 2024 and boosting industrial exports by about 74 %. Yet the sector faces stark environmental challenges: its factories collectively consume about 5.4 billion m³ of water annually and the country’s air pollution levels ranked ninth worldwide in 2024. Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) offers a way to reconcile industrial growth with environmental sustainability by integrating environmental objectives into recruitment, training, performance evaluation and rewards. This article synthesises international best practices and proposes an Environmental Synergy and Performance Integration (ESPI) framework tailored to Egypt’s socio‑economic context. After reviewing the literature and relevant policy documents, the study outlines a mixed‑methods approach for assessing GHRM adoption in selected industrial zones. It then details the ESPI framework, emphasising the need to build employees’ environmental capabilities, align incentives with sustainability goals, and provide opportunities for participation. Implementation strategies, anticipated benefits and policy recommendations are discussed. Complying with the author guidelines of the Journal of Middle Eastern Studies—which require articles of 5,000–10,000 words with a 250‑word abstract, Times New Roman 12‑pt single‑spaced text and Chicago‑style referencing—the paper concludes that adapting GHRM in Egypt’s industrial zones can support the country’s Vision 2030 by lowering emissions, reducing resource use and improving competitiveness.
