In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our business standard payment terms for vendors dealing with Veolia UK companies are 45 days end of month from the receipt of the invoice (i.e. vendors are paid at the end of the month following a 45 day period from the date of receipt by Veolia of a valid invoice). However we do still have some legacy payment terms which are affecting our paid on time statistics.
Dispute resolution
We work with our suppliers to ensure that disputes are resolved in a timely manner. If a supplier has a dispute they should call our Financial Shared Service Centre on 020 3567 2270 or email Accounts Payable on [email protected]. According to our Terms & Conditions, which are available on our website, the Supplier shall be entitled to charge interest on any undisputed overdue payments from the due date for payment until the date of payment at a rate of two per cent (2%) above the current bank rate per annum as published by the Bank of England.

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).
