As a part of BBA curriculum and in order to gain practical knowledge in the field
of management, we are required to make a report on any of the various research
topics under any field of management, so my topic of project research is “Green
marketing”. The basic objective behind doing this project report is to get
knowledge about the various factors that influence the commitment level of an
employee and to suggest some ways through which the commitment level of
employees can be enhanced.
In this project report, I have tried to include basic concept of the organizational
commitment, its types and all such relevant concepts. The facts and figures
gathered for the research work and their analysis has also been included.
Doing this project helped me to enhance my knowledge regarding the factors that
can influence the level of commitment of an employee in an organization. This
project also helped in learning facts about data collection, organization,
presentation and analysis.

organizational action aimed at
environmental protection—is
regarded by some either as a way
to reduce costs by better use of
resources, or as a way to market
goods and services to a specific
group of consumers willing to

involved to

The Greek enterprises of the
timber sector show a great
interest in the protection of
forests in the entire world against
illegal loggings and traditional
management. This big sensitivity
of Greek enterprises appears to
create favourable conditions for
the promotion of certified timber
that comes from sustainable
managed forests. Bigger
enterprises express relatively a
weaker interest in the protection
of forests.

However a number of people always motivate, criticize and appreciate a work with their objective ideas and opinions, hence I would like to use this opportunity to thank all, who have directly or indirectly helped to accomplish this project. I owe a great many thanks to a great many people who helped and supported me for the completion of this project. My deepest thanks to Dr. Gazala Y Ashraf, the guide of the project, for guiding and correcting my various documents with attention and care. She has taken pain to go through the project and make necessary corrections as and when needed.
