5 - CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Environmental matters

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS 5.2 [G4-14] [G4-27] [G4-DMA Overall] GRI

This report provides an overview of the activities that Technicolor is taking to fulfill its responsibilities as a global corporate citizen with respect to Environment, Health, and Safety (EH&S). As such, Technicolor is reporting on what it has determined to be the most significant aspects and impacts, both globally and by business unit, for the fiscal year 2017. In alignment with the principles stated within the EH&S Charter, Technicolor continually assesses the EH&S performance of its facilities to identify opportunities and implement measures to reduce adverse environmental impacts and to improve the health and safety of its workplaces and their surrounding communities. For the 2017 management report, a total of 50 reporting locations are included. There were many notable environmental achievements during 2017 targeting energy efficiency, conservation of water, and improved recycling. Several of them are summarized as follows. ENERGY HIGHLIGHTS Many programs were put in place to reduce energy consumption or more generally reduce site carbon footprint. Among these, the following initiatives have been selected as representing a characteristic sample. Lighting fixtures are increasingly supplied with new energy efficient LED lights (Manaus, Mumbai, Culver City MPC, Boulogne, Piaseczno) in replacement of fluorescent light bulbs or older LED lights. This paired with sensors allows for energy savings such as in Rugby or Sydney DVD facilities. In Manaus, the site installed additional external solar powered lighting as part of its Green Factory program to improve consumption of energy from renewable sources. The energy demand of servers at Creative Services sites is carefully monitored and systems may be conditionally adapted to reduce consumption when possible. Some sites raise the minimum temperature in the server rooms by up to three degrees when load permits, (London MPC) or even shut down servers when they are not needed (Chennai). Similarly, in the Chicago The Mill offices, central air conditioning shuts down during the nights to conserve energy.

In London MPC alone many initiatives were taken which reflect all the different aspects of an energy saving program such as installing more efficient uninterruptible power supply equipment, changing lights to LED, increasing data center set temperature, installing a building management system to control building temperature, installing video conferencing to reduce travel, including a systematic review of the energy performance of any new equipment purchased and also training security staff to turn lights off after hours. Some initiatives to reduce carbon emissions due to commuting or to develop offset credits are in place or are being established at non-industrial sites. The Mill operation in London has committed to 100% of its electricity coming from renewable sources. MPC operations in Los Angeles has planted trees in its park, the Technicolor Hollywood site participates in a program to compensate vehicle emissions by purchasing CO 2 emissions offset credits. The Edegem site participated in a “national car free day” with alternative transport promoted to come to work, offering breakfast to all employees arriving by bicycle, or on foot. The Rennes site in France has a complete plan including financial incentives to use public transportation, training sessions on bike safety in an urban environment, bike repair shops, and dedicated parking spots for carpoolers. WATER HIGHLIGHTS Regardless of site geographical location, in drought affected areas or in more temperate climates, sites endeavor to reduce their water footprint as well. Initiatives range from small adjustments to regulate pressure and consumption such as introducing tap aerators and optic sensors, to leak detection and repair (Rennes rainwater harvesting tank tightness works), improving the efficiency of cooling towers, or reducing water used for cooling render farms by externalizing those (Montreal MPC). On the non-technical side, campaigns to remind staff to make a conservative use of water are in place, as is water-conscious gardening by planting drought resistant species in California, and re-use of condensate water from the air conditioning systems to irrigate an organic garden at Manaus.
