Dispute resolution
We offer our suppliers the following support and service: • Enquiries and complaints can be logged through our Helpdesk support system (mail or telephone). Issues are often related to incorrect invoice submission, payment terms are not as per contract, PO details are wrong / nonexistent etc. Key performance metrics are monitored for quality of Helpdesk support. • Our Supplier web pages also include details and a link to our Speak Up channels that enable concerns to be raised, including channels managed independently of Haleon and the option to do so anonymously, although naturally it helps in resolving matters if we know as much as possible about the issue and complainant. • We have invested in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) to ensure effective and independent supplier follow
Other information
1) Statistics Reported: Intercompany invoices and performance have been excluded from reported statistics as these are generally wholly owned group companies and would distort performance if included. 2) Payment terms for SMEs and 'Paid on Time' monitoring: Preferential payment terms of 30 days are put in place for vendors that are confirmed as SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises). We closely monitor our KPIs on a weekly basis to ensure that vendors (including SMEs) are paid on time. Corrective actions are taken to remedy any late payment issues where these are within the entity’s control.

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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
