CLIMATE CHANGE HIGHLIGHTS Sites, both industrial and non-industrial, try equally to reduce their energy consumption. Efforts to reduce energy consumption locally continued in 2021. Typical efforts involve lighting fixtures changeover to LED appliances, HVAC improvements (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning), and shutting down as many lighting or other systems during weekends or holidays as possible, raising setpoint temperatures in data centers or other technical rooms, selecting equipment according to energy efficiency criteria, and using window solar control screen films to improve heat blocking in exposed offices. Many initiatives took place at the site level in 2021 to reduce carbon emissions in addition to energy saving initiatives implemented in both Industrial and non-industrial sites: in non-industrial sites efforts are oriented towards floor space • optimization, lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems, power for data center units. Increasingly sites source greener energy, some are already on 100% renewable electricity, others are gradually improving their electricity mix content during contract renewals, to prepare for ambitious decarbonization targets in coming years; in industrial sites, similar initiatives took place albeit a larger scale, with • floor space optimization, lighting, HVAC, automation and organizational changes that were continued from 2020 as part of continuous improvement programs. As an illustration, the Connected Home Manaus site implemented a one-hour shutdown of the air compressor and production area lighting circuit: during this period, all lines are scheduled for lunch at the same time.

Of course, due to Covid-19, business travel was drastically reduced similarly to 2020, and therefore by necessity the usage of video conferencing systems became the dominant worldwide collaboration tool, with the side benefit of reduced carbon emissions due to travel. Additionally, in some locations and situations, the traditional commute was changed with some members of staff shifting from using the public transportation to walking or bicycling. Consequently, incentives to use the public transportation system were proposed in a few sites and more bike spaces were created in others with some incentives at times also proposed to staff using their bicycles: In Montreal Mr. X site, subscriptions to municipal bike programs were proposed. In Montreal Mikros site employees returning to work on site are encouraged to use a bike. The site worked with the city to install bike racks in front of the studio and by communicating the Technicolor promotion code for the public bike system. The site is also engaging with the property landlord to have bike racks installed in the underground parking. Edegem Connected Home improved its green car policy, proposing more attention to electrical and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Edegem also promotes an active lifestyle, and one member of staff was distinguished nationally in 2021 as the person who accumulated the most bicycling kilometers for the year (13,000 km) with the Bike to Work program.
