Invoice Payment Practices

This information is as reported by the business, and responses are in their own words.

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Small-to-medium suppliers (SMEs) with fewer than 250 employees are generally on 60 day payment terms and larger suppliers, including multi-national companies, are on contracts with longer payment terms mutually agreed on a case-by-case basis. The combination of both larger suppliers and SMEs is reflected in our reported data. We are continually working to improve our payment practices, with a focus on SMEs within our supply chain. We continue to analyse the root cause of any late payments, including process errors caused by us or our suppliers, to enable payment to terms.

Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

No information available

Any other information about payment terms

A preferential Supplier Financing facility is available to our suppliers. This arrangement enables payment to suppliers earlier than standard or contracted payment terms.

Dispute Resolution Process

Supplier payment issues that arise in the first instance are addressed by the shared financial services team. Depending on the issue, Procurement may be involved to resolve any disputes or issues via the Diageo internal dispute resolution process. Suppliers may raise any questions/request via the Supplier Service Hub and that is directed to the relevant team for prompt resolution.
