ROMERO VALENZUELA, Denisse Mercedes  and  CAMARENA GOMEZ, Beatriz Olivia. Sustainable and responsible consumption: concepts and analysis from the consumer behavior. Vértice univ. [online]. 2023, vol.25, n.94, e75.  Epub Aug 14, 2023. ISSN 2683-2623.  https://doi.org/10.36792/rvu.v25i94.75.

This article analyzes the development of the concepts of responsible and sustainable consumption through the systematic review of articles published on both terms, from the consumer's perspective, in Scopus, Science Direct, Scielo, JSTOR ebooks, Redalyc and Google Scholar, from 2000 to 2020. The scientometric analysis was the methodological procedure that allowed the selection of 43 articles out of a total of 1,641 published in said databases, under the criteria of interest, and to carry out the mapping of concepts through the VOSviewer software design program, to proceed to the conceptual analysis of the terms sustainable consumption and responsible consumption. In results, the descriptive phase focused on quantifying the scientific production on the concepts of interest by geographical area of the study, date of publication and general theme addressed. In the conceptual analysis, the similarities and differences identified in the definitions of both terms are presented, the predominance of research on sustainable consumption was demonstrated, but an emerging interest in these works to study the responsibility exercised by the consumer through their acts of consumption. Everything seems to indicate, by way of conclusion, that in studies of consumer behavior in the economic field there is a conceptual paradigm shift in favor of sustainable consumption.

Keywords : sustainable consumption; responsible consumption; consumer behavior; D11; M30; Q56.
