DISCLOSURE ON EXTRA-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Environmental footprint of products 5.5.2 PRODUCT DESIGN AND LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT 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 main new products families. Rigorous product environmental performance analysis has been used in past years to measure the impact of innovations and to target key areas of focus. Specific eco-design studies have been completed on many aspects of core product design ( e.g. , energy consumption, electronic cards and components, casing and cable materials, accessories, etc.) as well as on related elements including packaging and transportation. For more information, please refer also to section 5.4.2 on energy efficiency.

PRODUCT REUSE GRI [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 2.9 million units as 4,200 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.

Sustainable water management 5.5.3 GRI [102-12] [102-13] [103-1 Water and effluents] [103-2 Water and effluents] [103-3 Water and effluents] [303-1] [303-2] [303-3] [303-4] [303-5]

In 2019, water consumption at the Technicolor reporting locations decreased by about 14.3% versus 2018 to 511 thousand cubic meters. When compared to revenues, average water consumption rate was 134 m 3 /M€ across the business in 2018. 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

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

during 2019 was about 3,203 m 3 .
