Small Business Supplier Payment Policy

Overview

At ALDI, we operate with three guiding values: simplicity, consistency, and responsibility. These values are upheld by all employees on a daily basis and extend to how we treat our business partners and manage their payments.

We are pleased to announce our partnership with the Business Council of Australia and the newly launched Australian Supplier Payment Code.

In all our business dealings, we act with integrity. It is our firm belief that all retailers and businesses should operate in a similarly ethical way.

What does this mean?

Payment terms for all businesses that qualify under the definition of a Small Business (see below) will be set to 30 days from the receipt of a correct invoice or receipt of goods  - whichever is the latter.

Do you qualify as a Small Business? (Definition)

ALDI Australia defines a small business supplier as:

  • An Australian business with annual turnover up to $10 million
    (exceptions apply for suppliers that are part of a consolidated group of companies; validation of total revenue may be requested)

  • Annual payments by ALDI Australia are less than $1 million for goods and/or services

How do you sign up?

Suppliers who meet the criteria to be classified to be classified as ‘Small Business Suppliers’ can send in a request to change their payment term via email.  

The Registration Form can be accessed from our website, at the bottom of this page. If you require any assistance or need to discuss further, please reach out to  Supplier Inquiries  via email.

Annual Checkup?

Circumstances  often change, and we believe everyone is entitled to a second look. If your businesses circumstances have changed in the last 12 months and you believe you now qualify, please let us know by sending the required details, via the email link below.  

ALDI Australia also conducts regular checks to ensure our partners are in compliance with the policy.
