Other Information

In these commercial partnerships, the association of both brands generates a specific financial, or other advantage, which is applied for the benefit of both parties. In some cases, VB will match the funding provided by the third party supplier (partner) to enhance the scope of the commercial arrangement, which results in added value benefits for all. The Commercial Partnerships Team has used Dynamic Partner Register (DPR) to manage and award agreements to third party suppliers (partners).
