Visy Sponsorship Objectives

• To provide assistance to individuals, schools, community groups, associations, charities and industry through sponsorships, which enhance and are consistent with Visy’s missions and goals.
• Position Visy as a 'good corporate citizen' — a company that cares and supports the communities and environments it operates in.
• Provide a balanced mix of local, State, and national opportunities for Visy to assist the wider community through sponsorship activities.
• To provide a balanced mix of support for both ongoing relationships with organisations/events and 'one-off' donations.
• Support may be in the form of monetary assistance, product placements, ‘value in kind’ support, staff involvement, networking and/or company association.

Information we need before we can make a decision

There are key pieces of information that we need before we can make a final decision about providing sponsorship to an organisation or group. This information should be in writing and include details about the following items.

• description of the event or activity and its objectives
• name and description of the project you would like VISY to sponsor and contact person
• if relevant, a brief history of the event
• timing and location
• aims of the project
• benefits to VISY and show how these benefits are inline with its objectives
• who the project is designed for — primary and secondary target markets
• key themes and messages of project
• branding opportunities for VISY
• sponsorship options (including different levels and costs and benefits of each)
• other sponsors, their contribution and role in the project
• an overview of the marketing and promotion strategies/activities for the project
• any timelines that we need to understand or dates we need to act or deliver by
• process for evaluating and reporting on the outcomes of the project.

What will be supported

Visy seeks to support specific projects which meet an important community need and which demonstrate excellence, defined community and corporate benefits and value for money in the following target areas:

After we receive a sponsorship application

We will respond to your application in writing within four weeks. If Visy agrees to sponsor your event or activity we will arrange a time to discuss this with you.

If we decide to sponsor an event or activity

Once all parties have agreed to the terms, conditions and deliverables of the sponsorship, these will need to be confirmed in writing, setting out the conditions and deliverables of the sponsorship.

During the sponsorship period

It is a condition of our sponsorship that we receive in advance:

• notice of any deadlines that the VISY needs to meet, speaking engagements, or meetings that you would like us to attend
• drafts of information that mentions VISY or its activities before they are released.
• proofs of final artwork for any publications or materials where VISY is referred to or logo is displayed.

This is so we can avoid errors and ensure the integrity of our brand is retained.

After the activity or event

We would appreciate copies of any media coverage, photographs or any relevant publications resulting from the event. For more information please contact us at sponsorship@visy.com.au
