The second definition identifies eco-innovation as the process of modernizing and improving products and services, organizational redesign of institutions, and innovation for new methods of marketing that improve the use and exploitation of natural resources (Chen et al 2020;Magadán-Díaz et al 2019).

Se ha analizado su influencia en el desempeño ambiental de las empresas (Aboelmaged, 2018; Magadán y Rivas, 2018), así como el fomento de la colaboración y co-producción a favor de una transición hacia prácticas más sustentables (Buijtendijk et al, 2018).…”
