Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
Our business standard payment terms for vendors dealing with Veolia UK companies are 45 days end of month from the receipt of the invoice (i.e. vendors are paid at the end of the month following a 45 day period from the date of receipt by Veolia of a valid invoice). However we do still have some legacy payment terms which are affecting our paid on time statistics.
- Other payment-term information
Please see more information about Veolia’s payment terms in our Terms and Conditions which can be found by accessing the following link under the section Veolia Group - General Conditions of Supply (Conditions of Purchase): https://www.veolia.co.uk/supplier-information
- Dispute resolution process
We work with our suppliers to ensure that disputes are resolved in a timely manner. If a supplier has a dispute they should call our Financial Shared Service Centre on 020 3567 2270 or email Accounts Payable on uki.queries@veolia.com. According to our Terms & Conditions, which are available on our website, excluding the payment of invoices subject to a bona fide dispute, if the Customer fails to make a payment due to the Supplier under this Contract by the due date, then the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue sum from the due date until payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgement. Interest under this clause will accrue at 2% a year above the Bank of England base rate. The parties agree that the remedies under this clause are sufficient for the purposes of the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998

This is a company-submitted statutory disclosure, not a credit rating. BritDB preserves the reporting period and links the report only through the Companies House number supplied by the official service. Percentages describe payments made during that period and may change in later reports.

A registry entry records what the organisation declared in its statement. It is not an independent audit. Group statements can cover several companies; BritDB preserves each exact source-supplied company-number link and excludes approver names and email addresses.

Registration ZA077553
- Registered from

- Current end date
- 8 October 2026
This is a candidate association, not an official Companies House link. The ICO file supplies no company number. The organisation name and postcode uniquely matched this company in the current snapshot. BritDB excludes all DPO contact fields and does not publish unmatched personal entries.

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.
08 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.
09 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.
10 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.
11 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.
12 Environmental register
Environment Agency waste registrations
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.
