Standard payment terms

Standard payment terms for small suppliers are 30 days net from the date of the invoice. Standard payment terms for all other invoices are five (5) days after the end of the calendar month following 60 days from the date of the invoice. The payment period is therefore determined by when a supplier submits an invoice, with the shortest period being 65 days and the longest being 95 days, with an average of 80 days. Specific payment terms outside the standard terms are agreed with some suppliers on a case-by-case basis. Our full standard conditions of purchase are available at: https://www.cocacolaep.com/assets/Global/Terms-of-Purchase/CCEP-Standard-Conditions-of-Purchase-EN.pdf A list of exceptions to our standard conditions of purchase is available at: https://www.cocacolaep.com/company/payment-terms-exceptions/ A small supplier has an annual supply to CCEP of less than €250,000 (excluding VAT) and falls within the EU SME definition recommendation 2003/361 (i.e. fewer than 250 employees and either a turnover of €50 million or less or a balance sheet total of €43 million or less).

Any other information about payment terms

If the payment date is a weekend or a public holiday, payment shall be made on the next working day following the weekend or public holiday. The number of invoices covered by this report is 160 in total. Our goal is to ensure we pay every invoice within the agreed time period. There are a number of reasons why invoices may not be paid on agreed terms, including administrative and processing errors, mistakes on invoices and, in some cases, a dispute over the invoice. We recognise the importance of paying our suppliers on time and continue to work hard to reduce the percentage of our invoices paid late.
