Track: Sustainability and Green Systems

Abstract

Distribution Networks draw much attention lately from academics and industrials, for their strategic role for any company that seeks a responsible brand image. From this perspective, our main objective in this paper is to use a survey methodology over a sample of 30 Moroccan companies from different sectors. In order to study and verify hypotheses established from the literature to determine the instigators and the barriers to achieve sustainability. Research questions were stated and questionnaires were distributed to the top management and heads of logistics departments in order to have the necessary data that served as a basis for a quantitative analysis. The results obtained from this study regarding sustainable Distribution Networks helped to highlight the correlation between the sector of activity, the firm size and the Moroccan institutional framework for sustainable development. Finally, we present the results and draw conclusions.
