Abstract
This research performs a quantitative analysis of the scientific production on sustainability in the pharmaceutical industry, using the Scopus database and the Bibliometrix software where 99 documents published between 2002 and 2023 are examined. India stands out as the country with the highest contribution, followed by Italy and the United States. The research identifies leading authors and institutions, underlining the importance of sustainable practices in pharmaceutical supply chain management. The analysis reveals a significant growth in scientific production since 2019, reaching its peak in 2022. Key themes such as "Life cycle assessment" and "Competitiveness" are identified, and the COVID-19 pandemic as an influential factor. Co-citation networks show collaboration between researchers and highlight the main thematic lines of the field. The study concludes that sustainability is a central theme in pharmaceutical research, with an increasing focus on life cycle assessment and competitiveness, with the recommendation to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and develop more accurate methods to assess the environmental impact of pharmaceuticals. In addition, it suggests that government policies should support the integration of sustainable practices in the industry. This analysis provides a solid basis for future research and the development of sustainable strategies in the pharmaceutical sector.
