The Company aims to contract individually with each of its suppliers agreeing specific payments terms for each contract. We then work proactively with our suppliers to ensure that we receive timely submission of invoices with relevant purchase order information to allow straight through processing and settlement within the agreed term. Where no agreement exists the Company makes payments on 60 day terms.

We are committed to treating all of our suppliers in a fair and reasonable manner.
