Any other information about payment terms
From 1 April 2025, Viridor Energy Limited assumed responsibility for the procurement of services previously contracted by its subsidiaries, including VIRIDOR EFW (RUNCORN) LIMITED, reflecting a move to a centralised procurement model. Payments disclosed in this report are aligned with these revised arrangements. In future reporting periods, payments made directly by subsidiaries of Viridor Energy Limited are expected to be limited to legal agreements that remain within those entities.
