RISK AREA: SUPPLY CHAIN DUE DILIGENCE
Maintain Lieferkettengesetz (LkSG) compliance through Ethixbase360.
Our due diligence questionnaire and risk assessment simplifies continued compliance throughout your supply chain.
Direct Engagement
Germany’s adoption of stricter supply chain due diligence is challenging companies of all sizes to learn more about third parties. Our Lieferkettengesetz Questionnaire promotes direct engagement with third parties in a pragmatic format that’s simple to complete and covers key LkSG risk topics. Gain insights into your network’s human rights record, environmental risks, compliance controls and more to enable compliant reporting.
TPRM Integration
The stringent reporting requirements of LkSG necessitate gathering, organizing and storing significant amounts of critical data–and that can be a challenge no matter the size of your company and third-party network. Ethixbase360’s Lieferkettengesetz solution integrates directly with our Third-Party Risk Management solution to simplify the due diligence process for in-house compliance teams and your supply chain partners.

“Everything is valuable in Ethixbase360’s platform, from the moment they trigger the automatic email directly to the third parties, the third parties respond directly via the platform, the Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) reports are good, the Instant Due Diligence Plus (IDD+) is a very good complement for management changes. The whole process is very useful.”

A due diligence questionnaire (DDQ) is a comprehensive set of questions designed to gather information and assess the potential risks associated with engaging third-party vendors, suppliers, intermediaries, or partners. DDQs are typically used as part of the due diligence process to gather information via direct engagement with third parties to evaluate the suitability, reliability, and compliance before entering into a business relationship, and as required throughout the engagement.
A due diligence questionnaire can cover a broad range of areas depending on what risk the client is looking to assess, their reporting requirements or the information that they require to onboard the third party. This may include but is not limited to, organisational structure, regulatory compliance and controls, integrity practices, operational procedures, quality control, environmental practices, data security measures, insurance coverage, previous litigation or disputes, references, supporting documentation etc. The specific questions should be tailored to the nature of the business relationship and the industry involved.
Due diligence questionnaires streamline the due diligence process by providing a structured approach to gathering and reporting on information. They help standardise the evaluation process, ensure consistent data collection, enable efficient comparison between potential vendors or partners, provide a basis for risk assessment and decision-making and where relevant (such as in the case of Modern Slavery reporting requirements) facilitate mandated annual reporting on supply chain risk assessment.
Yes, due diligence questionnaires can be customised based on the specific requirements of risk area, regulation or organization. It’s important to tailor the questions to address the specific risks and compliance needs relevant to the business, ensuring the questionnaire captures the necessary information to make informed decisions.
