DISCLOSURE ON EXTRA-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Environmental footprint of products 5.5.2 PRODUCT DESIGN AND PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE As a leading supplier of Set-Top Box (STBs) and home gateways, Technicolor has acquired experience and decided to incorporate eco-design principles and methodology into its product families. Rigorous analysis about product environmental performance allowed Technicolor to measure the impact of innovations and to target key areas of focus. Based on product life cycle assessment, Technicolor advises and supports its customers to reduce the ecological impact of their activities, addressing short-term product aspects of core product design ( e.g. , energy consumption reduction during its life cycle, elimination of hazardous substances in electronic cards, components, casings, accessories, and cable materials, use of recycled materials and contributions to a more circular economy) as well as on related elements to reduce single-use plastics and packaging and to decrease carbon emissions due to transportation. Technicolor also looks forward, collaborating with its customers to support them in their ambitions to reduce their carbon footprint and evolve towards carbon-neutral activities. For more information, please refer also to section 5.4.2 on energy efficiency.

PRODUCT REUSE [417-1]

Beginning in 2016, as part of its reuse strategy, the Group began to recover used units from the American market in partnership with a major network provider capable of taking back product from individual consumers. Using its network of post-sales locations, Technicolor inspects, refurbishes, and requalifies the returned products whenever feasible, and then sells them as a clearly labeled refurbished product and at a reduced price. Since the program commenced in 2016, the destruction and disposal of about 3.15 million units and 3,022 tons of waste was avoided. At the same time, the need for an equivalent amount of raw materials and manufacturing effort required to produce new products for these markets was eliminated. PRODUCT RECYCLING While many stakeholders have specific actions to take to fully achieve product recycling, Technicolor Connected Home supports the Circular Economy. Easy device disassembly and avoidance of compound material in device mechanics and packaging helps to reintroduce parts of the devices in the raw material flow ( e.g ., for device housing or packaging).

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 and industrial sites in Australia, Brazil, and Mexico, total rainwater harvested and consumed

In 2021, water consumption at the Technicolor reporting locations decreased by about 24.9% versus 2020 to 304.4 thousand cubic meters. When compared to revenues, the average water consumption rate was 105 m 3 /M€ across the business in 2021. 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
