Included in trade accounts payable are amounts due to suppliers which could be part of a supply chain finance arrangement between the supplier and a third-party bank. DSM suppliers have the option to enter into such supply chain finance arrangements with third party banks, which provides them with the option of earlier payment based on terms linked to DSM’s investment grade credit rating. If a supplier chooses to participate in such an arrangement, this does not impact the classification of the trade payable for DSM, as these supply chain finance arrangements are concluded between the banks and the suppliers and do not alter the payment conditions between the supplier and DSM. Therefore, these amounts remain classified as trade payables.
