How long does Viridor Dunbar Waste Services Limited take to pay its suppliers?

Standard payment terms

Our standard payment terms, as set out in our Terms and Conditions for the Supply of Goods and Services (available on our website – refer to the Viridor Standard Conditions for Goods and Services in the Terms & Conditions section:https://www.viridor.co.uk/work-with-us/procurement/), are 60 days after the end of the month of receipt of a valid and undisputed invoice. In practice, a range of payment terms is applied across our supplier base, depending on the nature of the goods or services supplied and the arrangements agreed with each supplier.

Dispute resolution

Viridor Dunbar Waste Services Limited operates an automated invoice process. We work closely with our suppliers and aim to pay all invoices in a timely and accurate manner. Any disputes that arise are immediately brought to the attention of the dedicated Accounts Payable team and Transactional Services Manager who will engage with all relevant stakeholders to ensure a speedy and satisfactory resolution. Any dispute arising that is not resolved is escalated through the finance management structure and the Executive Management team member if required.

Other information

From 1 April 2025, Viridor Energy Limited assumed responsibility for the procurement of services previously contracted by its subsidiaries, including Viridor Dunbar Waste Services Limited reflecting a move to a centralised procurement model. Payments disclosed in this report are aligned with these revised arrangements. In future reporting periods, payments made directly by subsidiaries of Viridor Energy Limited are expected to be limited to legal agreements that remain within those entities.
