Climate Change In 2017, Technicolor participated for the tenth consecutive year in the Carbon Disclosure Project, targeting collaboration between large international firms and investors related to global warming. Technicolor’s answer is available on the CDP’s website: http://www.cdproject.net. Climate change is integrated into Technicolor’s business strategy along two primary axes: development of eco-friendly products and services and infrastructure improvements to reduce emissions or to maintain performance when faced with climate impacts. The development strategy has Technicolor joining or leading various industry groups, regulatory committees, or trade collaborations as a way to find or to create improvements and manage them in to the product or service offerings. The infrastructure strategy is to seek out improved efficiencies in Technology or human process/behavior. Examples are upgrades of existing lighting installations, building management systems, Research & Innovation programs linked to integration of smartgrid software in Set-Top Box, energy efficiency improvements from eco-design of products or packaging, anticipation on upcoming legislation, increase use of energy from renewable resources. Locally other initiatives exist such as a “green car” policy for leased vehicles or a CO 2 emissions compensation program implemented at the Set-Top Box manufacturing facility in Manaus, Brazil.

Beyond scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, the most significant contributions to scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions are shown below, in decreasing significance. Where quantitative estimates are shown, the values are approximate due to assumptions required and potential absence of exact knowledge for specific type of transportation equipment and fuel. Necessary assumptions are based on industry standards or surveys for collective vehicle performance or consumer behavior: electricity consumption during the use of Connected Home ■ devices (Set-Top Boxes and gateways) in their targeted markets during their estimated product lifetime of 7 years. The total impact of all Connected Home devices produced during 2017 is estimated to be an equivalent 2.1 million tons of CO 2 during each full year of product operation. The assumed product operation that may be controlled in part by the network operator and the consumer, includes active hours during use, standby hours when not actively in use, and switched-off hours, aligned primarily with the customer habits for using their television at home. For any individual piece of equipment, the true equivalent emission will depend on the country and region of operation as emission factors vary significantly depending on electricity generation methods and sources in each country; raw materials, manufacturing, distribution, and dismantling ■ (cradle-to-cradle) of Connected Home devices (Set-Top Boxes and gateways). The estimated impact of all outbound traffic controlled by Technicolor during 2017 for Connected Home devices was 12,049 tons CO 2 ; raw materials and distribution of DVD and Blu-ray TM discs. The ■ estimated impact of all outbound traffic controlled by Technicolor during 2017 for DVD products was 41,314 tons CO 2 ; employee commuting; ■ business travel. ■
