Payment terms changed
Following a review to align and standardise global payment practices, our standard payment terms for EU suppliers operating on an ad hoc purchase order basis are 90 days. Different payment terms apply in defined circumstances, including for smaller suppliers in the UK and Ireland, who operate on 60-day payment terms with daily payment runs, for food and agricultural product suppliers in the EU, and where alternative payment terms have been contractually agreed.
How suppliers were notified
Suppliers were notified at the time of raising a PO.
Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms for smaller suppliers are generally 60 days, with daily payment runs. For larger suppliers, we generally agree 90 day payment terms with fortnightly payment runs, unless alternative contractual arrangements are expressly mutually agreed. Our reported data reflects a mix of payment terms across both smaller and larger suppliers. Payment terms are just one element of how we work with suppliers, and we are committed to fair, responsible and transparent payment practices.
- Other payment-term information
A preferential Supplier Financing facility is available to our suppliers. This arrangement enables payment to suppliers earlier than standard or contracted payment terms.
- Dispute resolution process
Supplier payment issues that arise in the first instance are addressed by the shared financial services team. Depending on the issue, procurement team colleagues may be involved to resolve any disputes or issues via the Diageo internal dispute resolution process. Suppliers may raise any questions/requests via the Supplier Service Hub and that is directed to the relevant team for prompt resolution.

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.
