Reverse factoring programs
The Group uses reverse factoring programs in the normal course of its business. These programs are
implemented within a strict
framework, notably with respect to:
•
use and function as a payment tool;
•
exclusively for approved invoices;
•
payment by Danone respecting the invoice terms, notably due dates, in accordance with applicable regulations and practices;
•
at no cost to Danone.
The amounts to be paid using these payment tools are not reclassified. They remain commitments to suppliers
and are carried as
operating liabilities under Trade payables until paid by Danone, which has the effect of clearing the commitment.
Several of the Group’s subsidiaries in various parts of the world are involved in these programs, none of which is individually material.
