Treating suppliers fairly – invoicing and payment
This webpage outlines Aberdeen's commitment to fair and timely supplier payments while promoting responsible business practices throughout the supply chain.
Ensuring prompt payment for our valued suppliers
At Aberdeen Group plc, we value strong supplier relationships built on trust and timely payment. We commit to paying all valid invoices within 30 days of receipt.
We’re proud to hold Gold status under the UK Government’s Fair Payment Code, with over 95% of invoices paid on time. This reflects our dedication to ethical practices, supplier support, and long-term partnerships.
We remain focused on upholding this standard and leading by example.
To expedite invoice processing, please ensure it includes:
- Purchase order number
- Correct Aberdeen entity name
- Total amount due
- Correct address
If you have any questions regarding invoice requirements, such as missing purchase order numbers, please get in touch with your Aberdeen business contact.
Responsible business practices
At Aberdeen, we recognise the importance of responsible business practices throughout our supply chain. We strive to minimise our environmental and social impact, and we expect the same commitment from our valued suppliers.
All suppliers are required to adhere to our Global Third Party Code of Conduct, which includes our Supplier Sustainability Expectations.
To report any concerns about a supplier’s practices that may violate our code of conduct, please get in touch with your Aberdeen business contact. Alternatively, you can report anonymously through our independent Speak Up service, operated by Safecall: www.safecall.co.uk/report
To promote and encourage responsible practices throughout our supply chain, we partner with EcoVadis, a leading sustainability rating platform. We encourage suppliers to demonstrate their commitment to ESG practices. For more information, please see Aberdeen Group plc (ecovadis.com).
