THE INFLUENCE OF BUSINESS COOPERATION NETWORKS ON ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY/SOSTENIBILIDAD AMBIENTAL POR IMPLEMENTACIÓN DE REDES DE COOPERACIÓN EMPRESARIAL/SUSTENTABILIDADE AMBIENTAL POR INTERCORRÉNCIA DE REDES DE COOPERACÄO EMPRESARIAL

Business Cooperation Networks (BCNs) can be alternatives when it comes to the elimination of unused medication. Considering this and the fact that drugstores are required to treat and dispose of their waste in specific ways, what would be the influence of the BCNs on the sustainable forms of discarding unused medication? The aim of this work is to identify whether drugstores organized in BCNs are influenced by the network to adopt sustainability practices. The study used descriptive field research of a quantitative nature, applying simple descriptive statistics and the Spearman rank correlation coefficient. Results showed that the BCN has a significant influence on its members.
