Standard payment terms

Adidas UK LTD's standard payment terms for the majority of its suppliers are 60 days from the date on which the invoice was received.

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

Answer not provided

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

N/A

Maximum contractual payment period agreed

60 days

Currently our way of working does not consider the length of time taken for payment to clear into the supplier's bank account. If we exclude the assumption of how long it takes funds to clear, we would move to 16% of invoices not paid within the agreed terms. We are considering changes in our process to take this into account.

Any other information about payment terms

Dispute resolution process

Adidas UK LTD advises that all invoices must contain a Purchase order number which is given to suppliers by our procurement team once the order is approved. This purchase order contains a section that details whom to contact with queries and the email address aukaccountspayable@adidas.com
