What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms are 60 days following the invoice receipt at Novartis. Depending on the commercial situation, variations to these standard terms might be negotiated on some occasions.
Dispute resolution
First point of contact for disputes or concerns is the Procure-to-Payment team within the Novartis Global Services Centre, for which all suppliers have contact details of. In addition to that, new suppliers receive an on-boarding pack, which includes information on issue raising and related points of contact. When an invoice dispute is received, it should be resolved at point of contact with the Procure-to-Payment team. If this is not possible, the query will be escalated to the Business contact and relevant senior Finance contact or P2P Business Partner. Timelines of escalation vary, depending on the nature of the query. When resolved, the invoice will be available for payment on the next standard payment run.

How UK payment reporting works
What is a Payment Practices Report?
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
How often is this data updated?
Is this official government data?
How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.
The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
