PM3: Due Diligence Requirements (DDR) questionnaire for New Vendor (Life entities)

This Due Diligence Requirements (DDR) questionnaire is to assist and support due diligence activities
and requirements in the Procurement process when identifying potential Third Parties to do
business with for Life entities (East spring has a different and separate DDR questionnaire). The areas
for due diligence (DD) in this DDR questionnaire are not exhaustive and additional DD requirements
may be needed depending on the type of Third Party arrangement you have, especially if you are
dealing with a potential Critical arrangement. If uncertain, please consult with LBU Risk or LBU
Procurement initially.

executed.
