In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Thermo Fisher Corporate payment term expectations are net 75 days. There are instances where different payment terms have been agreed with vendors and these can range from payment on presentation of invoice through to payment within 90 days. We aim to abide by the agreed payment terms based upon timely submission of satisfactory invoices being received.
Dispute resolution
The company is committed to dealing with its suppliers in a fair, honest and professional manner. We seek to resolve queries as quickly as possible to the satisfaction of all parties prior to payment being made. In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved it is escalated internally and with the supplier to seek resolution.
Other information
As the corporate entity for the Thermo Fisher Scientific group in the UK we are, at times, asked by other areas of the group to make urgent payments to vendors. Upon such requests we aim to make payments within 3 working days to the vendor.

What is a Payment Practices Report?

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).
