What follows are results of key environmental metrics that were tracked in 2017. Prior year results are reported for sites within the reporting perimeter of the year reported, thus sites divested may continue to be reported in prior years and sites acquired are not reported in prior year’s results.
Energy In 2017 worldwide energy use was approximately 1,452 tera joules, a decrease of about 11% compared with 2016.

Water In 2017, water consumption at the Technicolor reporting locations decreased by about 5.8% versus 2016 to 668 thousand cubic meters. When compared to revenues, average water consumption rate was 153 m 3 /M€ across the business in 2017. Where raw water is developed on-site from local wells, all consumption and pre-treatment is in accordance with granted permissions and approved processes. All water consumption, other
than that related to building and facilities, is linked to DVD replication or Set-Top Box manufacturing. Locations experiencing periodic water shortages, such as DVD replication in Australia, invest in rainwater harvesting, while other manufacturing locations in Brazil, Mexico, and Poland may invest in process water recycling so that overall source consumption is reduced. Including laboratory operations in Rennes, France, total rainwater harvested and consumed during 2017 was
about 20,800 m 3 .
