PROCESS WASTEWATER Within Technicolor’s facilities, 4 sites utilize water within their manufacturing processes. In order to assess the potential environmental impact of the discharge of this treated water, the Group referenced both the European Community (EC) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) criteria for “priority pollutants”. Based upon these lists, and information provided by Technicolor’s sites regarding

the parameters that require monitoring and reporting, 13 pollutants were

identified on either the EC or EPA list.

For 2021, the amount of treated water discharged was 66,958 cubic meters, and the total estimated amount of discharged priority pollutants was 84.3 kilograms.

SUSTAINABLE WATER HIGHLIGHTS While Technicolor is not a water intensive business, efforts to save water are made wherever possible, at industrial sites but also non-industrial sites, with sites in water stressed areas being particularly sensitive to careful water management. Throughout the year, many sites explored new ways of saving water. Manaus reuses air conditioning condensation for cleaning up outside the buildings, and Melbourne, Rennes, Guadalajara and Manaus sites collect and store rainwater (together they harvested and consumed some 2,009 cubic meters of rainwater in 2021). In non-industrial sites, awareness campaigns and signage are a complement to the refurbishment of toilets with more efficient or sensor driven appliances, as well as equipping faucets with aerators. Dishwashers are selected for their energy efficiency rating and eco-wash cycles are used. In Bangalore, India, low flow water dispenser fittings and aerators were installed for all the washbasins, recycled water is being used in all toilets, and foot pedals are installed to control the water flow. The Melbourne site also installed a camera in the wastewater pits to control the amount of wastewater coming from the mask cleaning areas to control water usage as well as to reduce wastewater collections to a minimum.

In addition, due to effluent characteristics, 3 sites are required to monitor biological oxygen demand (BOD) or chemical oxygen demand (COD), in 2021 an estimated total of 2,062 kg BOD and 138 kg COD were discharged within process effluent. All above quantities of discharged pollutants are fully compliant with authorized limits. Summary weights of pollutants are calculated using volume-averaged, full year, average concentrations, based on periodic laboratory sampling. Periodic effluent sampling is performed in accordance with local regulatory requirements, and in general pollutants are not monitored continuously.
