60 days
The maximum contractual payment period is 60 days if the invoice were received on the date of raising, however the majority are 30 days or fewer.
As a result, the payment practices reported reflect all transactions across the Viridor group plus any specific payments made directly by the subsidiary. Viridor introduced an automated invoice process in conjunction with a new group ERP system on 1 April 2018. This was implemented to deliver improved financial governance and improve the timeliness and response to the invoice workflow and payments to suppliers. A valid invoice reflects: • registered and approved supplier • purchase order number • includes the necessary details of goods/services, date and financial detail and sent either electronically to invoices@viridor.co.uk or by post. Whilst Viridor is not a member of the prompt payment code, we do adopt the principles of the code including: 1. paying suppliers on time – with average payment days which is below our standard terms and lower than 30 days 2. Clear guidance to suppliers – our terms and conditions are included within our purchase orders and on our website. 3. Encourage good practice – as part of Viridor a Supplier Code of Conduct and Sustainable Procurement Policy was launched in November 2018.
Viridor Waste Management Ltd operates an automated invoice process. We work closely with our suppliers and aim to pay all invoices in a timely and accurate manner. Any disputes that arise are immediately brought to the attention of the dedicated Accounts Payable team and Transactional Services Manager who will engage with all relevant stakeholders to ensure a speedy and satisfactory resolution. Any dispute arising that is not resolved is escalated through the finance management structure and the Executive Management team member if required.
For example, signatories to The Prompt Payment Code must commit to paying 95% of their invoices within 60 days.
