What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
ASSA ABLOY operates with a standard set of payment terms and conditions under which invoices are paid within 60 days from the end of the month of the date on which the goods or services to which they relate have been deemed to have been delivered in accordance with the delivery terms of the contract.
Dispute resolution
We work closely with our suppliers to ensure that any disputes are resolved on a timely basis. ASSA ABLOY Limited operates a shared service accounts payable team based in the West Midlands. If at any time a dispute arises in relation to the payment of an invoice, suppliers contact our shared service accounts payable team with details of the disputed payment together with their authorised purchase order number. The accounts payable team will use all reasonable endeavours to resolve the dispute, but will refer this to the relevant procurement department where issues cannot be resolved directly. Where disputes cannot be appropriately resolved within a reasonable time frame, ASSA ABLOY operates a policy whereby payment disputes are escalated to the senior executive team for resolution.
Other information
We work closely with our suppliers to support the cash flow requirements of both ASSA ABLOY and our supply chain throughout the reporting period. Of the payments reported as paid outside of agreed payment terms, 72% of these were paid within 5 days of the agreed due date.

Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 53-day vs a 0-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act lets a supplier charge statutory interest and fixed compensation on invoices paid past agreed terms. Work out what a late invoice is worth → Whether it applies depends on your contract — check with an adviser.

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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
