The specific objectives include; determining the relationship between green human resources management (GHRM) Practice on employee retention as well as the relationship that exists between environmental stewardship on eco-innovation in SMEs in Anambra State, Nigeria. The Study was anchored on stakeholder’s theory, by Freeman in (1984) and employed descriptive survey research design and systematic sampling technique.
