About this listing

ALLEN OVERY SHEARMAN STERLING (BELGIUM) LLP reports an average time to pay of 20 days, with 34% of invoices paid outside agreed terms, based on data supplied under the UK Duty to Report on Payment Practices. This reflects payment performance only. This score reflects its most recent reporting period only (2026) -- the same rule applied to every company regardless of how many periods they've filed, so a longer track record is never used to drag a score down. See the pattern of behaviour below for the full 7-period history. It has not yet completed the GBP-14 Diagnostic, so this is not a full Supplier Choice Index certification.
