- 5 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Environmental matters

WASTE HIGHLIGHTS In DVD manufacturing facilities, waste programs included recycling purge material into DVD lines, internal recycling and repairing of wooden pallets, and improved collection and recycling of cardboard packaging waste. In non-industrial sites, paperless is growing and recycling programs are increasing to include more aluminum cans, more paper and other recyclables. In Bangalore a paper recycling scheme has been put in place. In Mumbai the organic waste is being collected by an NGO for composting. Newly acquired businesses are reviewed by Technicolor to identify EH&S aspects of their operations, to evaluate the status and effectiveness of existing management and control systems, to determine compliance with Technicolor EH&S Policies and Guidelines, to communicate Technicolor’s EH&S initiatives and requirements, and finally, to assist in the establishment of location-specific programs that conform to Technicolor’s requirements and meet the needs of the Group. GENERAL 5.2.1 [G4-DMA Overall] GRI Policy and Charter As a global leader in providing a diverse range of communication and video technologies, finished products, systems, equipment, and services to businesses and professionals in the entertainment and media industries, Technicolor understands the importance of establishing consistent and universally applied standards. Such standards not only assist each of its locations to meet the requirements of the country in which they are located, but also provide an added benefit of encouraging each location to develop programs that go beyond local regulatory requirements. To formalize this critical philosophy, Technicolor has developed a Corporate Environment, Health, and Safety (EH&S) Charter. The EH&S Charter supports the Technicolor Ethics Charter and the Corporate Social Responsibility Charter, and is the cornerstone of the Group’s EH&S program. It defines key management principles designed to protect human health and the environment, helps Technicolor meet its legal and corporate responsibilities, and provides direction for each Technicolor location’s activities and operations. The EH&S Charter has been translated into six languages and is available on the Group’s Intranet, and is displayed at each industrial site. Environmental Risk Profile During 2017, the Group operated 50 main locations, 13 of which are industrial. By Technicolor’s definition an industrial location is a facility where DVDs are produced, packaged or distributed or where any Connected Home product is made.

To provide finished products and services, Technicolor utilizes purchased materials, chemicals, components, energy, and water. As a result of the products and services it provides, there are a number of potential activities that may result in adverse impacts to the environment. Environmental aspects reviewed in this report include waste management (total waste generated, landfilled, and recycled), energy consumption (electricity and fossil fuels), water consumption, air emissions (greenhouse gas emissions), main materials used, and processing wastewater effluents. The 50 sites included in this report may be reviewed in the subsection “Data Collection Method and Rationale” (5.2.4) herein. Organization EH&S is managed transversally within Technicolor and by extension becomes the duty of each Executive Committee Member, Technicolor business manager and Site manager. Technicolor established a Corporate EH&S group in 1993 to develop, direct and oversee the development of global policies, guidelines, programs and initiatives. The Corporate EH&S organization reports to Corporate Social Responsibility, headed by the Director of Human Resources and Corporate Social Responsibility, who is a Member of Technicolor’s Executive Committee. Overseeing the EH&S group is a Corporate manager, who directs the efforts of EH&S personnel throughout the business. Business Unit liaisons work to ensure that initiatives relevant to their particular business are shared quickly among sites with similar industrial activity. Legal support and counsel for issues such as product safety, environmental protection and workplace safety is provided by Technicolor in-house attorneys. It is the responsibility of the Corporate EH&S Organization to develop policies, programs, processes and initiatives to help the business meet the principles and commitments outlined within the EH&S Charter. Each Technicolor location identifies personnel who, along with the support of local EH&S Committees, are responsible for reviewing and localizing Corporate Policies and Guidelines and applicable governmental laws and regulations, and for implementing site-specific programs and procedures which will ensure compliance and minimize the potential for their operation to cause harm to human health or the environment. PROGRAMS, SYSTEMS, 5.2.2 AND ACTIVITIES [G4-DMA Overall] GRI A number of programs and initiatives have been established and implemented to ensure that the Group meets its legal responsibilities and operates in a manner that identifies risks and takes measures to reduce harm to human health and the environment. The most significant of these are described below.
