英國調查亞馬遜遲付超市供應商風波




英國監管機構展開調查 指控亞馬遜延遲支付供應商款項

倫敦消息——英國雜貨監管機構於星期五宣布,正式對美國零售巨頭亞馬遜展開調查,懷疑其在過去三年間未能遵守及時支付供應商的規定。

英國雜貨供應守則裁定人(Groceries Code Adjudicator,簡稱GCA)表示,亞馬遜疑違反了雜貨供應守則第5條款,該條款明文規定必須及時支付供應商款項。

裁定人馬克·懷特(Mark White)在聲明中指出:「涉嫌的延遲付款可能令亞馬遜的供應商面臨過度風險和意外成本,進而影響他們對投資和創新的能力。」

亞馬遜發言人回應稱,該公司嚴肅看待《雜貨供應守則》(GSCOP),並會全力配合懷特及其調查工作。「雖然對此決定感到失望,但我們歡迎有機會進一步展示我們在守則相關部分持續合規的努力。」

懷特表示,調查將涵蓋亞馬遜自2022年3月被指定為守則涵蓋對象至2025年6月期間,調查基於多個匿名消息來源提供的證據展開。

GCA指出,調查將審視延遲付款的規模和影響,重點關注亞馬遜的付款系統、其處理供應商扣款爭議的方式,以及是否在商業談判中不公平地使用扣款和和解手段。

去年,GCA曾警告亞馬遜,若不改善對GSCOP的合規情況,將面臨正式調查。

該守則旨在確保英國14家最大的雜貨零售商,包括市場領頭羊Tesco、Sainsbury’s及Marks & Spencer,公平對待其供應商。

根據GCA 2024年的年度調查,少於一半直接供應亞馬遜的受訪者認為這家美國巨頭「始終」或「大部分時間」遵守該守則。

當時,亞馬遜表示,自去年調查結果以來已對雜貨供應商做出多項改善,包括更清晰解釋成本價格調整決定、設定最低下架期限,以及推出處理發票爭議的重大系統升級。

GCA有權對大型零售商處以最高達英國營業額1%的罰款。

編者評論:亞馬遜的供應商支付爭議 反映大型平台與中小供應商的博弈問題

這次英國監管機構對亞馬遜的調查,揭示了全球電商巨頭與供應商之間日益複雜且敏感的關係。亞馬遜作為零售業巨無霸,憑藉其龐大銷售網絡,理應成為供應商穩定的合作夥伴,但延遲付款的指控卻暴露出大型平台在財務操作和商業談判中的權力不對稱。

延遲支付不僅增加供應商的財務壓力,更可能限制他們的創新能力和市場競爭力,這與GSCOP旨在保障供應商權益的初衷形成鮮明對比。亞馬遜的回應強調合規承諾,但實際情況仍需等待調查結果揭曉。

這場調查同時也提醒我們,在數碼時代,監管機構如何平衡促進創新與保護市場公平,成為一大挑戰。尤其是像亞馬遜這樣的跨國企業,跨境監管合作和資訊透明度將是未來監管工作的重點。

對香港及其他地區的中小企業而言,亦應關注全球大型電商平台的合規動態,從而在合作中爭取更公平條件,避免被大企業的財務操作所左右。整體而言,這次事件不僅是對亞馬遜的考驗,更是對全球零售供應鏈公平性的警示。

Create a photorealistic image of uploaded photo sitting at a relaxed outdoor restaurant in London on a cool Wednesday morning in March 2026. The sky is clear, the spring air is crisp, and the city feels calm as it wakes up. She is the focal point of the shot—wearing a light scarf, gently stirring her tea while gazing off to the side with a thoughtful expression. Everything behind her, from the waiter moving about to the soft morning traffic, should fall into a smooth blur, giving the picture the effortless, candid atmosphere of a moment casually snapped on a phone. ultra-sharp close-up portrait of a woman [image uploaded] with soft, fair, luminous skin, natural rosy blush across her cheeks and nose. she has large, expressive brown eyes with subtle warm eyeshadow, soft eyeliner, and long defined lashes. her lips are glossy with a natural pink tint. her dark brown hair is styled in a voluminous messy updo with loose, wispy tendrils framing her face, creating a soft, youthful look. lighting is bright, warm, and natural, coming from the side window, casting gentle highlights on her skin and hair. she wears a red sleeveless top, layered delicate pearl necklaces, and a single visible red earring with gold detailing. background features a softly lit indoor space with curtains and a window showing blue sky, creating a fresh, airy mood. overall aesthetic is modern beauty photography with clean color tones, perfect skin texture, and high-end editorial styling. negative prompt: distorted face, unnatural freckles, incorrect hair texture, uneven lighting, heavy makeup, washed-out colors, low resolution, cluttered background, incorrect accessories, over-retouching, harsh shadows. Certainly! Here’s an enhanced, detailed, and artistic prompt tailored for an AI image generator:

---

Create a highly detailed, artistic portrait of a young East Asian woman embodying a “Imada Mio-inspired” doll-like aesthetic (精緻洋娃娃臉). She has large, sparkling round eyes full of warmth and expression, a delicate V-shaped face with soft contours, and subtly flushed, rosy cheeks. Her lips are naturally plump and softly tinted, and her facial expression combines innocence, playful energy, and a touch of flirtatiousness.

Her hair is long, dark brown, and appears tousled as if she has just awakened—soft, voluminous, and gently messy (剛睡醒的凌亂感). Stray strands fall around her delicate face and shoulders, capturing the texture and natural flow of freshly mussed morning hair.

She is dressed in an oversized, translucent white men’s button-down shirt (男友風白襯衫), with the top buttons casually undone to reveal delicate collarbones and a hint of bare skin beneath, evoking a sensual yet pure “bottomless” (下衣失蹤風格) look. The shirt drapes gracefully, with natural folds and slight translucency, enhancing the softness and allure of the scene.

The overall mood is inspired by elegant Japanese Gravure photobook aesthetics (寫真集風格), radiating a Pure & Sexy charm. Use soft, luminous, high-key natural lighting to bathe her in a gentle glow, imparting a creamy, flawless, and porcelain-like skin texture. Emulate the timeless Fujifilm PRO 400H film tones with pastel coloration, subtle pinks and blues, and a carefully balanced color palette, giving the image a dreamy and refined photographic quality. The composition should feel intimate and inviting, expertly capturing both innocence and understated seduction, with fine attention to detail and artistry.
