What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
169 (EOM +154) Days. No changes were made to the standard payment terms during the reporting period.
Dispute resolution
3 levels of resolution: 1st level the Order Desk team or Renewals team together with the business they are addressing the situation with the supplier in case of minor queries on the invoice. 2nd level of resolution would be the Sourcing Business Partners in case 1st level is not successful or the reason for disputing the invoice is not considered minor. 3rd level of resolution is the Head of Sourcing: if not resolved, it would be escalated further for final resolution. At this level, we do extend supplier reviews and have a governance meeting if needed. If the dispute is not resolved at this stage, the dispute resolution process outlined in the Agreement between Ericsson and the Supplier will be affected.

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).
