5 DISCLOSURE ON EXTRA-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE HUMAN RIGHTS AND WORKING CONDITIONS

Technicolor added a more systematic risk assessment of suppliers in 2018 with the implementation of the EcoVadis assessment platform ( EcoVadis Rating Framework ) for suppliers representing a yearly spending of more than €1 million. In 2019, such category represents 90.4% of the total spending of the Group. Suppliers representing about 69% of total spend of this category of Technicolor’s suppliers are already assessed by EcoVadis. The primary sub-contracting scope within the Group is within the Connected Home business, where sub-contracting represents the majority of units sold, and thus almost all audits originating as part of the Supplier Responsibility program are targeting suppliers and sub-contractors for the Connected Home business as sub-contracting is very low profile in Entertainment Services. Conversely, the year-end seasonal labor peaks are strongly represented in Entertainment Services and the Group ensures that all temporary workers receive all required EH&S training, information, and equipment for their responsibilities, no matter how limited the duration of employment, the same as any other worker within the Group. A diverse workforce is a business imperative to Technicolor in its competitive environment. It must be able to recruit and retain the most talented candidates from a broad range of disciplines and experiences. Technicolor’s policy is not only to provide equal employment opportunity without regard to race, sex, religion, national origin, age or disability status, but also to fight actively against harassment and discrimination that are illegal and also hamper our ability to perform and to retain talented employees. Beyond existing legislations, we strive to track pay discrimination cases between women and men and to reduce such gaps. An improved gender pay gap analysis process based on current and revamped business’ job architectures is under preparation to identify and help to prevent pay gap creation at every step of women’s career. The non-discrimination and equal employment opportunity policies, based upon the Ethics Charter and locally augmented according to specific legal requirements if needed, including the anti-harassment policy, are implemented at all Technicolor sites. In addition to the role of the management, detection of discrimination cases also relies on the whistleblower policy allowing any employee to confidentially disclose their situation or the situation of a co-worker, without fear of publicity or adverse reaction. Such cases are reported to the Ethics Committee and investigated. Some countries implement in addition an official trust person or advocate for employees if there is a discrimination issue. Overall, 50 cases of discrimination and harassment were reported in 2019. 3,179 hours of training including fight against unconscious bias, discrimination and harassment were delivered to 1,198 employees in

Technicolor monitors key performance indicators according to SA 8000 criteria for key active electronics manufacturing service partners to ensure they comply with Corporate Social Responsibility regulations and practices. Technicolor Sourcing gives preference to suppliers who have achieved ISO 9001 certification and who are certified to meet such EH&S standards such as ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. Additionally, the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) may perform on-site audits to monitor and verify the implementation of the RBA Code of Conduct. Mindful of regulations banning or restricting certain chemical substances, Technicolor implemented a process for obtaining and tracking information about its suppliers. This system allows for the identification and estimation of relevant chemical substances in Technicolor’s products and ensures that banned substances are not included. In 2016, Technicolor’s commitment was confirmed by a Technicolor public statement on Conflict Minerals available on www.technicolor.com, along with other Technicolor statements on compliance with UK and California anti-human trafficking laws. 2019, of which 1,048 hours of anti-harassment focused training to 643 employees. In several countries, managers and supervisors are provided Legal awareness training sessions about anti-harassment and non-discrimination. Several new or on-going initiatives were active during 2019: in India, a PoSH (Prevention, Prohibition and redressal of Sexual • Harassment at workplace) liability survey and awareness and training campaigns with all the service line management teams and key talent was conducted. Based on the survey results, an experiential training on “unconscious bias” was conducted for the leadership team. PoSH Internal Complaint Committee (IC) was revamped with on-boarding a new external consultant, and all were inducted to the complaint handling process. In continuation of this, all the employees were trained on PoSH with the help of video-based modules, and awareness posters were put up on the notice board at all floors. This training covered employees from all the service lines at Bangalore and Mumbai (Trace VFX). 1,242 employees attended such training through 33 sessions. Through various avenues, we continue to educate employees on the unconscious bias. In India, the practice continued to make provision for mutually agreeable extension of employment for senior workers, past the national retirement age of 58. The Bangalore operation also provides a written document concerning local community conditions and advice for new workers moving in from other areas. Partnering with Oxfam India, the Technicolor team supported 98 local teams in the 2018 Trailwalker “Walk for Equality” event, with walks of 50 and 100 km over three days, while also staffing a checkpoint along the route for support and hospitality during the 3-day event;
