This study comprehensively addresses the complexity of the ethics of responsible consumption and its multifaceted impact on the environment. In this regard, it highlights the crucial importance of continuing consumer education and developing a deeper awareness of the interconnections between our consumption habits and the planet's natural systems. It also emphasizes the need for proactive and committed action by individuals, communities, and institutions to address current and future environmental challenges. Based on this perspective, the main objective is to promote ethical and responsible consumption, both through education and through social actions aimed at environmental protection. To this end, a systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA method, using the Scopus database as the primary source, from which a total of 34 relevant studies were identified. The results show that ethical and responsible consumption generates a positive impact not only on the environment but also on society at large. This approach encourages proactive actions, social responsibility, and ethical consumption practices, thus contributing to environmental protection. Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of adopting sustainable practices and promoting innovation in products and services that minimize environmental impact.
