What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Standard Payment Terms are 90 +2 days from the end of the month in which the expenditure is incurred, unless we are legally or contractually obliged to have lower payment terms, for example 30 days on spend that is majority related to our supply to UK Government entities. We can also agree exceptions where the Standard Payment Terms create undue cash flow pressure on smaller suppliers. Any deviation from the Standard Payment Terms must be justified in the New Vendor Form prior to submission to Sourcing Function and must follow an approval process within the Sourcing Function
Dispute resolution
If a supplier has a complaint or dispute they will contact the UKIE DBS Procure to Pay department in the first instance, usually via email. The P2P team will investigate the status of the invoice and try and resolve the complaint with the supplier. If P2P cannot resolve the complaint the P2P team member will put the supplier in contact with the Buyer who requested the good/service. Danone follow a no PO no pay policy. The PO number is communicated by the Buyer to the Supplier at the point of placing an order. Danone reserve the right to reject invoices without PO's back to the Supplier

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).
