Abstract
Reverse supply chain management (RSC) enables companies to integrate sustainability in ecological, economic and social terms. Research has rarely investigated the impacts of RSC on business performance. Regarding Morocco, the literature on RSC is very rare. Most companies are not sufficiently aware of their reverse supply chain and miss out on many competitive advantages and opportunities. This article explores the current situation, using a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews with the objective of describing the practices of the RSC, the decision-making factors that lead to the implementation of RSC and finally the impacts of the RSC on performance in the Moroccan automotive sector.
