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 function via SPSS 25 version. From the findings, procurement sustainability initiatives concept strongly correlates with the logistic performance proxies. Hence, sustainability policy significantly facilitates the effectiveness and efficiency of process optimization and capacity management. Hence, it was revealed that the alternate hypotheses were accepted.

It could be recommended that management of logistics firms should adopt sustainability policy initiatives to enhance process optimization and capacity management.
