Dispute resolution process
"We have a structured and transparent process in place to manage and resolve payment-related disputes promptly and fairly. Upon identification of a dispute, the relevant issue is logged and acknowledged accordingly by our finance or procurement team. We then engage directly with the supplier to clarify the nature of the dispute, request any supporting documentation, and seek a resolution.
Each case is reviewed by an assigned team member with appropriate authority. If the matter is more complex or requires escalation, it is referred to a senior manager within the finance or commercial team. We maintain open lines of communication with suppliers throughout and provide regular updates on progress.
Our goal is always to resolve disputes amicably and swiftly, with minimal disruption to ongoing supplier relationships."
