The 200 copies of questionnaire were administered, only 196 was deem fit after processing, retriever, coding and cleansing. The Parallel reliability was used to determine the consistency of the instrument that results to 95.50 (0.955). Two research questions and two hypotheses were raised which was tested with parametric measurement using Pearson Product Moment Correlation because of its monotonic functionvia SPSS 25 version. From the findings, procurement sustainability initiatives concept strongly correlates with the logistic performance proxies. Hence, procurement initiatives and e-procurement significantly facilitates the effectiveness and efficiency of logistic performance. Hence, it was revealed that the alternate hypotheses were accepted. Based on the findings and conclusion, this study contributes to the knowledge that e-procurement facilitate logistics performance.
