5 DISCLOSURE ON EXTRA-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE HUMAN CAPITAL

We aim to source a significant proportion of our future junior talent in several disciplines with Academy graduates. Our heads of department have expressed satisfaction with their performance, and we have many cases of Creative Academies graduates performing well above expectations. We see this as a partnership between the Group and local education establishments which help make the countries we work in attractive to creative talent. To this end, further steps are being taken to better prepare students while they are still in school. Through the robust “Education Partnerships and Engagement strategy”, we continue to work

with c. 30 local colleges and universities to build an affiliation basis and offer our help to better prepare their students to work in Visual Effects. Our Creative Academies represents both a central strategic talent initiative and a way for the Group to give back to the community. It helps bring social and economic benefits to the cities we work in as every Academy student will need to live, travel, eat and play in their communities. As these communities become recognized as great places for creative talent, it will attract new work and companies as well as stimulate other spin-off businesses. It is a great example of a win-win situation where doing the right thing is also good business.

Technicolor’s main activities are in the field of Technicolor Creative Studios, DVD Services and Connected Home devices. They require creative talents for innovation of technologies and services and for development of products. This leads Technicolor to maintain relationships with a variety of key stakeholder groups to ensure growth and sustainability of its businesses, primarily: clients and customers; • investors and shareholders; • education bodies; • communities; • suppliers and subcontractors; • public authorities. • Within these general categories, specific stakeholders are identified as engagement opportunities based on their nearness to or connection with critical aspects of Technicolor (people, products, services, or property). Dialog may take place in a variety of ways, such as face-to-face meetings, memberships, surveys, contracts, or public event/forum/webinar/panel, as detailed in the below descriptive examples. In 2021, customer satisfaction was monitored and managed through regular video conference calls, email communication and executive review of any customer complaints. In addition, Connected Home also drives customer satisfaction surveys (10 in 2021) for its activities as they involve a large number of customers. Findings of these surveys and meetings are used to correct processes and improve relationships and quality of products and services.

We maintain strong relationships with our shareholders and investment community. Technicolor participated to 183 events (roadshows, conference calls and conferences), met 184 institutions (institutional investors) and had 49 contacts with analysts during the course of the year. Overall, Technicolor handled 248 meetings or calls with investors and analysts over the course of the year. Long-term cooperation with education bodies is key for fast growing and/or changing business domains to enable Technicolor to access to young highly educated talent pool whose skills fit with our requirements. See section 5.2.7. Technicolor maintains close relations with local communities in order to limit the impacts of the Company’s industrial activities on the local environment ( e.g. noise pollution, light pollution, air pollution and road traffic). The Group strives to take the necessary steps in these contexts in order to achieve a satisfactory outcome for all concerned. Relations with suppliers and subcontractors are described in section 5.3.1 as well as in the Vigilance Plan (section 5.11). Technicolor continues to develop trusted relations with public authorities where it operates in order to secure a favorable business, social and technological environment. Such relations are managed either directly or indirectly through industry associations, and follow strictly our business ethics rules, especially competition and anti-bribery rules as well as transparency through the national registration processes of declaration of interest.
