What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
a. Kimberly-Clark has established global payment terms. Only the payment terms approved centrally are allowed with suppliers, whether covered by contract, Purchase Order or non-Purchase Order. Only if there is a long-term need and there is sufficient reason not to adopt the nearest standard global term, regional exceptions can be requested through an established exception approval process. It is expected to have the regional exceptions reviewed periodically to ensure they are still valid. b. As standard we have a set of Net Payment terms (from invoice date or invoice receipt date according to regional initiatives) ranging from Immediate payment to 180 days payment, a set of payment terms with discount (where early payment leads to a pre-agreed discount %).
Dispute resolution
1. Issues with invoice payments are being highlighted to Accounts Payables for resolution. If there is no resolution, the issue is being escalated to the key business contact at Kimberly-Clark. 2. If key contact agrees to complaint then he/she will internally escalate to ensure necessary actions are being taken within the organization. If actions are delayed there is an escalation process to highlight the gap to management. 3. If key contact does not agree to complaint and both parties are not able to come to an agreement, the issue will be escalated to the Procurement contact to mediate. If no resolution can be achieved, it might require legal involvement.

What a 75-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 75-day vs a 3-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 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.

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).
