In 2020, water consumption at the Technicolor reporting locations decreased by about 20.7% versus 2019 to 405.2 thousand cubic meters. When compared to revenues, the average water consumption rate was 135 m 3 /M€ across the business in 2020. 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 2020 was about 3,382 m 3 .

PROCESS WASTEWATER Within Technicolor’s facilities, 5 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 2020, the amount of treated water discharged was 67,639 cubic meters, and the total estimated amount of discharged priority pollutants was 46 kilograms.

WATER HIGHLIGHTS 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 3,382 cubic meters of rainwater in 2020). 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.
