The payment data indicates a consistent trend of payments falling into the 31-60 day range, with an average payment time of 46 days. This suggests that while 18% of payments are prompt, the trajectory leans towards slower processing, with a significant 70% settling beyond 30 days.
Payment reliability is moderate, with a substantial 35% late payment rate and 12% of payments extending beyond 60 days. Suppliers should anticipate an average payment of 46 days but must account for the unpredictability introduced by these delays, posing a moderate risk to cash flow planning.
Suppliers should expect payment terms averaging 46 days and factor in a significant probability (35%) of late payments, impacting cash flow. To mitigate this risk, consider negotiating upfront payment or shorter terms, and maintain strong liquidity. It's advisable to build a buffer into financial projections to accommodate potential payment delays.

Any other information about payment terms
Viridor introduced an automated invoice process in conjunction with a group ERP system in November 2021. This was implemented to deliver improved financial governance and improve the timeliness and response to the invoice workflow and payments to suppliers. A valid invoice reflects: • registered and approved supplier • purchase order number • includes the necessary details of goods/services, date and financial detail and sent either electronically to invoices@viridor.co.uk or by post. Whilst Viridor is not a member of the prompt payment code, we do adopt the principles of the code including: 1. paying suppliers on time – with average payment days below our standard terms 2. Clear guidance to suppliers – our terms and conditions are included within our purchase orders and on our website.
