      abstract = {This study examined workforce diversity, green human resource management (GHRM) practices, and corporate sustainability within Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) across Panay Island in 2026. A total of 368 respondents from HEIs in Aklan, Antique, Capiz, and Iloilo were selected through stratified random sampling to ensure balanced representation across sex, educational attainment, years in service, employment status, and location. Data were gathered using a researcher developed questionnaire, informed by established literature, validated by experts, and tested for reliability using Cronbach’s alpha. Statistical analyses included frequency, percentage, mean, independent samples t test, One Way ANOVA, and Pearson’s r correlation at a 0.05 significance level. Results revealed that workforce diversity was recognized to a very great extent, GHRM practices were mostly practiced, and corporate sustainability was consistently rated very high. No significant differences were found when classified by sex, educational attainment, and years in service, while variations emerged by employment status and location. Strong positive correlations were observed among workforce diversity, GHRM practices, and corporate sustainability, indicating that improvements in one area were associated with enhancements in the others. HEIs in Panay Island were performing well in integrating diversity and sustainability. The study recommends strengthening support systems, improving green reward programs, and addressing disparities in employment status and location.},
