Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms for smaller suppliers* are five (5) days after the end of the calendar month following 20 days from the date of the invoice.
Standard payment terms for all other invoices are five (5) days after the end of the calendar month following 60 days from the date of the invoice. The payment period is therefore determined by when a supplier submits an invoice, with the shortest period being 65 days and the longest being 95 days, with an average of 80 days.
Specific payment terms outside the standard terms are agreed with some suppliers on a case-by-case basis.

Any other information about payment terms
If the payment date is a weekend or a public holiday, payment shall be made on the next working day following the weekend or public holiday.
Our goal is to ensure we pay every invoice within the agreed time period. There are a number of reasons why invoices may not be paid on agreed terms, including administrative and processing errors, mistakes on invoices and, in some cases, a dispute over the invoice. We recognise the importance of paying our suppliers on time and continue to work hard to reduce the percentage of our invoices paid late.
Dispute resolution process
If CCEP reasonably and in good faith disputes its obligation to pay part or all of an invoice submitted by a supplier, then CCEP notifies the supplier in writing of the amount of the invoice which it is disputing and the reasons why it considers it is not obligated to pay that amount.
Payment disputes are initially handled by the Accounts Payable team, with support from the relevant procurement contact/buyer where appropriate. If a satisfactory outcome cannot be reached, the issue will be escalated within the organisation to the legal team if required.
