Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
Our business standard payment terms are between 30 and 60 days. All vendors are paid on a bi- weekly payment run, apart for Major Reciprocal suppliers where payment terms are aligned and payments are made at the end of the calendar month. Invoice payment cycles are weekly on Wednesday and Friday and include cleared and posted invoices up to the invoice due date. This ensures our Suppliers receive payments on time aligned with their commerical terms.
Our payment cycles were updated in Janauary 2025, this coincided with implementation of a new Finance and P2P system . This change is applicable to all existing and new suppliers alike. Other standard contract terms include that suppliers of goods and services must comply with Biffa internal procure to pay policies, all relevant legislation and international standards in relation to: trading policy, child and forced labour, health and safety of workers, non-discrimination, employment law, human rights and bribery and corruption. In particular, suppliers must be able to demonstrate compliance with both the letter and spirit of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Biffa Group Ltd reserves the right to discontinue business with suppliers who do not comply with our requirements in this area. Any change in terms such as this are communicated to suppliers both by hard copy and email to the nominated supplier contact. Prior consultation was not appropriate in this case as the change was a regulatory requirement. - Dispute resolution process
Our dispute resolution process has been consistent for a number of years. Suppliers will contact Accounts Payable and the originator of the order in the first instance to highlight any issues. If the delay is related to a problem in the normal approval process then this will be managed and resolved by the Accounts Payable department. If the issues are related to payment terms or credit account limits then this is escalated to and managed by the appropriate Group Procurement Category Manager who will discuss the matter directly with the supplier and agree a mutually acceptable solution to the problem. Solutions may include extending our credit line, reducing payment terms or increasing order frequency. Issues are resolved promptly.

Demonstrated progress
Our statement sets out Biffa’s actions to understand all potential modern slavery risks related to its business and to put in place steps that are aimed at ensuring that there is no slavery or human trafficking in its own business and its supply chains. We use key performance indicators to measure our performance, and we set targets for our next statement.
Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: We recognise that some areas of our supply chain, particularly those involving temporary labour through managed service and agency arrangements, carry a higher risk of exploitation.
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Tier 1 suppliers
- Group: Migrants Refugees
- Location: United Kingdom
- Mitigation: Over the past year, we’ve continued our focus on Modern Slavery across our operations & supply chain. Our partnership with Smart Solutions Group, our managed service provider, is a key part of this. We maintain regular, transparent dialogue through on-site Account Managers & strategic meetings. SFA also conducted an audit on one of our key suppliers to assess their current understanding of & response to the risk of modern slavery & labour exploitation and how we could work better together
- Risk: We are an acquisitive company and recognise that companies we acquire may require improvements to their practices to support our integration of that business to Biffa practices.
- Area: Within your own operations
- Mitigation: We ensure we undertake robust Modern Slavery due diligence on all of our acquisitions and we commission Slave Free Alliance (SFA) to complete audits of our acquired businesses. In FY 2025 the SFA audited Hamilton Waste and Recycling, to benchmark their practices and to support our integration of that business to Biffa practices.

PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.
06 Charity register
Charity Commission links
No exact company-number link in this snapshot
The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.
This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
07 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
08 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
09 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
No exact GB-COH link in this snapshot
Find a Tender did not explicitly identify this Companies House number in a procurement party. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
These links use only the GB-COH identifier supplied in the procurement record. A company may have other public-sector work that is absent, older, below publication thresholds or published without a Companies House identifier.
10 Environmental register
Environment Agency waste registrations
No exact company-number registration linked
The licensed Environment Agency subset did not contain this exact Companies House number. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
This is a privacy-reduced, exact-company subset. The full official register also includes sole traders and applicants without a matching Companies House number. Check the current Environment Agency register before relying on registration status.
