Questionnaires and interview guide were used for collecting primary data. Quantitative data was analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. Multiple regression analysis was used to establish the coefficients of regression model in determining the effect of green logistics management on performance of registered automobile firms. Green logistics management had a moderate positive correlation (.260) giving a significant relationship with performance (.004). The study concluded that that some green procurement practices like green logistics management had a significant effect on performance.
