What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
93% of these invoices are with group companies, which are paid on average in 15 days. Standard payment terms for third party suppliers is the end of the following month of invoice receipt.
Dispute resolution
Dispute Resolution Invoice disputes are investigated by our front office team in our Shared Service Centre in Madrid. The supplier is required to follow our purchase order terms and conditions. If the front office team are unable to resolve the dispute, the issue is then escalated by passing on the query to the local accounts payable team, who will work with the relevant business stakeholder to resolve. In order to ensure invoices are approved promptly, any invoices outstanding with an approver for more than 3 days are followed up by the local accounts payable function to ensure they are dealt with.

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).
