Invoice Payment Practices

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

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

SMEs are 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 an acute focus on the small-to-medium suppliers (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

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.
