During site demolition at a closed London film lab with a prior ■ history of contaminated groundwater, soil contamination was discovered while removing below grade structures and piping. All contaminated soil was excavated and disposed of properly. After demolition was completed, a site wide groundwater assessment was made, and a remediation strategy prepared. The remediation strategy was approved by the governing environmental and health agencies at end of 2009, and sub-surface remedial chemical treatment was completed during 2010. Post-remediation groundwater monitoring indicated a likely source point remaining within on-site soils, and this hot-spot was excavated and disposed during 2014. Localized chemical treatment was re-applied to the base of the excavation prior to backfill. During 2017 a remediation completion report was written and no further actions at this site are planned. During site redevelopment at a closed Hollywood film lab with a ■ prior history of contaminated groundwater, soils underneath the buildings were assessed and contaminated soils removed where possible and disposed of properly. Additionally, installations of sub-surface soil vapor extraction systems and passive soil-vapor barriers were completed prior to replacement of the concrete flooring. These works were reviewed and approved by the governing agency prior to implementation and construction activities were completed during 2013. Soil vapor extraction processes and site groundwater monitoring continued during 2017. OPERATIONAL DATA AND RESULTS 5.2.3 Goals and Performance 2015-2018 Technicolor established the following EH&S goals and objectives for the Group, to be met by its worldwide industrial operations by the end of 2018: 5% annual reduction of injury rate; ■ 20% minimum proportion of electricity coming from renewable ■ sources; 75% minimum waste recycling rate; ■ reporting to satisfy GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) G4 ■ Guidelines. Reporting Perimeter This report contains data from 50 operating locations, of which 13 are industrial. Prior year data are reported for the same locations when GRI

The Group believes that the amounts reserved and the contractual guarantees provided by its contracts for the acquisition of certain production assets will enable it to reasonably cover its safety, health and environmental obligations. However, potential problems cannot be predicted with certainty and it cannot be assumed that these reserve amounts will be sufficient. In addition, future developments such as changes in governments or in safety, health and environmental laws or the discovery of new risks could result in increased costs and liabilities that could have a material effect on the Group’s financial condition or results of operations. Based on current information and the provisions established for the uncertainties described above, the Group does not believe it is exposed to any material adverse effects on its business, financial condition or results of operations arising from its environmental, health and safety obligations and related risks. In addition, Technicolor has initiated a number of environmental projects at various locations to ensure that they are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and Technicolor standards, or to reduce or prevent unwanted emissions, for which approximately €49 thousand was invested. Potential pollution not directly related to chemicals or waste, such as noise pollution or noise restrictions, are assessed at the site level and mitigating measures are taken where appropriate.

available, although some newly acquired sites may not have data values for years prior to acquisition. Given the diversity of the Group’s operations, the environmental aspects and potential impacts vary by location, thus not every location is required to report on each of the established metrics. The Corporate EH&S Organization has identified key information that is tracked and reported on either a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. This information includes utility consumption, waste generation, recycling and disposal, air emissions, main raw materials used, and water effluent from industrial locations. Technicolor is firmly committed to continually assessing the impacts of its facilities and products. Technicolor’s goal is to continually evaluate information needs and collection processes to ensure that it remains consistent, with a focus on present activities and issues as well as anticipated future requirements.
