Maximum contractual payment period agreed

150 days

Under Mondelez International’s Supply Chain Finance programme, a supplier can elect for early payment of invoices, at a cost that is typically lower than traditional sources of financing. The maximum contractual payment period of 150 days reported above is as a result of Supply Chain Finance arrangements. For the purposes of this reporting, where a supplier has opted for Supply Chain Finance, the payment date reported is the date on which we pay the finance provider, rather than the earlier date on which the finance provider pays the supplier. The supplier is paid within 10 days of the Invoice Date under the Supply Chain Finance programme.
