Process Waste Water Within Technicolor’s facilities, 6 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 2017, the amount of treated water discharged was 70,790 cubic meters, and the total estimated amount of discharged priority pollutants was 80 kilograms.

In addition, due to effluent characteristics, 3 sites are required to monitor biological oxygen demand (BOD) or chemical oxygen demand (COD), in 2017 an estimated total of 1,702 and 704 kilograms were discharged within process effluent respectively

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.

All above quantities of discharged pollutants are fully compliant with authorized limits. Summary weights of pollutants are calculated using Raw Material Usage The Group sources all raw materials externally. These are always industrially processed raw materials. The main raw materials consumed by the Group’s businesses in 2017 were:
