Any other information about payment terms
The company takes on-time payment performance seriously and has implemented several measures to improve performance.
A centrally monitored mailbox has been implemented for submission of invoices from all vendors. Supplier communications have been issued to ensure that work is not started without a valid purchase order and centralised requisitioning is also being rolled out to reduce rework and queries.
These measures are largely responsible for the improvement in the average days taken to pay, however we continue to see 37% of invoices received after the due date and 18% of invoices received without a PO having been created. Our current payment terms are based on invoice date and the company will be updating these to refer to date of invoice receipt.
As a result of our improvement plan, the company has been reinstated to the Prompt Payment Code during the period.

In the event of a dispute between Anglo American Services (UK) Ltd and a supplier, the parties will discuss and resolve the dispute based on the specific circumstances and in accordance with the terms of the contract. This process will typically be managed by Supply Chain working closely with the end user and Finance.
