5 DISCLOSURE ON EXTRA-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE CLIMATE CHANGE

Indirect emissions from consumption of electricity, steam, and chilled water (Scope 2) were 85,313 metric tons CO 2 eq and were estimated using the International Energy Agency emissions factors (2019). Scope 2 emissions CO 2eq (metric tons) 2019 134,064 2020 110,604 2021 85,313

data centers supporting all businesses and functions within • Technicolor, but primarily attributable to Creative Studios, generated an estimated impact during 2021 of 13,421 tons CO 2eq . This estimate concerns all data centers and includes in part a double counting of some emissions already reported as Scope 2 emissions within Technicolor operations. Emissions factors used were selected from International Energy Agency emissions factors (2019). In 2021, Technicolor participated for the fourteenth consecutive year in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), targeting collaboration between large international firms and investors related to global warming. Technicolor’s emissions disclosure is available on the CDP’s website: http://www.cdp.net/. DATA CENTERS In addition to Group IT requirements, Creative Studios businesses related to film, video, animation, and special effects have an on-going need for fast and efficient data centers (computational capacity plus storage capacity). Technicolor uses a mix of public cloud-based infrastructure as a service, in addition to on-site or co-located data centers managed by Technicolor resources in conjunction with other partner companies in order to meet these requirements, depending on data security, response time, availability, and other aspects. As a first step, Technicolor has mapped its requirements and its current infrastructure and continues to work toward reduced energy consumption and increased energy efficiency for data centers while working to understand the power usage effectiveness methodology (PUE) and definitions that could be further implemented to improve the business performance while reducing carbon emissions. The combined impact of all data centers utilized by the Group during 2021 was estimated to be 13,421 tons CO 2eq . This estimate concerns all data centers and includes in part a double counting of some emissions already reported as Scope 2 emissions within Technicolor operations. Emissions factors used were selected from International Energy Agency emissions factors (2019).

Beyond scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, some of the most significant contributions to scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions are shown below, with the exception of purchased goods and services. Where quantitative estimates are shown, the values are approximate due to assumptions required and potential absence of exact knowledge for specific type of transportation equipment and fuel. Necessary assumptions are based on industry standards or surveys for collective vehicle performance or consumer behavior: electricity consumption during the use of Connected Home devices • (set top box and gateways) in their targeted markets during their estimated product lifetime of 5 years (STB) or 4 years (gateway). The total impact of all Connected Home devices produced during 2021 is estimated to be an equivalent 3.44 million tons of CO 2eq during their full lifetime of product operation. The assumed product operation that may be controlled in part by the network operator and the consumer, includes active hours during use, standby hours when not actively in use, and switched-off hours, aligned primarily with the customer habits for using their television at home. For any individual piece of equipment, the true equivalent emission will depend on the country and region of operation as emission factors vary significantly depending on electricity generation methods and sources in each country. Emissions factors used were selected from International Energy Agency emissions factors (2019); the estimated impact of all inbound and outbound traffic controlled by • Technicolor during 2021 for DVD products was 40,169 tons CO 2eq . Emissions factors used were selected from UK Government GHG Conversion Factors Freighting Goods (2021); the estimated impact of all inbound and outbound traffic controlled by • Technicolor during 2021 for Connected Home devices was 33,781 tons CO 2eq . Emissions were estimated by third-party specialist company TK’Blue, focusing on climate change impact of shipping and logistics activities; pre-Covid employee commuting was estimated at about • 29,076 tons CO 2eq and a new employee survey was developed that will bring focus and improved accuracy to the employee commuting impact going forward; business travel continued to be impacted and reduced in 2021 due to • Covid-19 risks and travel restrictions, with an impact of 2,392 tons CO 2eq ;
