Viridor introduced an automated invoice process in conjunction with a new group ERP system on 1 April 2018. 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 which is below our standard terms and lower than 30 days 2. Clear guidance to suppliers – our terms and conditions are included within our purchase orders and on our website. 3. Encourage good practice – as part of Viridor a Supplier Code of Conduct and Sustainable Procurement Policy was launched in November 2018.
