The read · computed from their figures

The direction is slower: from 16 days in H1 2022 to 24 now — 8 days slower across their last 6 reports.
That is 15 statutory periods on record (earliest H1 2018) — a historical record, not a promise for a new invoice.
What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
A process is in place for onboarding new suppliers whereby SMEs are identified and put on 30 days payment terms and all other suppliers are on 60 days payment terms
Dispute resolution
Supplier payment issues that arise in the first instance are addressed by a dedicated Accounts Payable queries team within the Financial Shared Services centre. Depending on the issue, the Procurement team may be involved to resolve any disputes or issues. Sodexo ensures that the payment of its vendors and handling of queries has a high priority and has SLAs on response times. Over the last number of years we have invested in tools and technology to assist our vendor from our Shared Service Centre with OCR and supply management by providing alternative finance and ease of payment solutions.

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).
