Standard payment terms

Vendor payment terms range from 0 days (advance payment) to a maximum of 80 days. Standard contractual terms are 60 days. There are also some accounts that require pro-forma payment. The Company's standard payment terms are to pay correctly rendered and valid invoices by the end of the month following the month of receipt.

Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

A number of suppliers have agreed to payment after 60 days end-of -month and there are some suppliers offering only 0-15 days credit.

Were suppliers notified or consulted about these changes before they were made?

This was handled locally by the payment teams and negotiated together with the relevant suppliers.
