5 - CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Stakeholder relations and local impacts of the Company’s activities

Due to the continuous changes in the Digital Cinema domain, Technicolor divested from several domains. When sale of the impacted activities to an external party was not achievable, the Group committed significant resources and support, according to its existing policies, in order to mitigate the impact for the concerned stakeholders. We maintain strong relationships with our shareholders and investment community. Technicolor participated to 381 events (roadshows, conference calls and conferences), met 526 institutions (institutional investors) and had 59 contacts with analysts during the course of the year. Overall Technicolor handled 601 meetings or calls with investors and analysts over the course of the year. Technicolor focuses its involvement in community initiatives on digital artist education. In addition to its support to the Training Academies (see section 5.5), the Group support other educational initiatives to

give opportunities to young talent to access to studios and to develop their skills: training students in schools, Master classes, Educator’s week, consulting of curriculum design, online test for potential trainees, supporting third party digital artists schools. The Group supports also the India Foundation for the Arts to help advanced projects of cinematographers with two projects currently under progress. It does also partner in India with the Attakkalari Foundation to co-create a conference on ‘Poetics of Technology in Performance. In partnership with Oxfam India, Technicolor support schools’ engagement initiatives about recycling and painting activities. It also continues to support activities in various environments relating to the world of film: launching festivals for new talent, supporting charities, and developing new experimental technologies or supporting joint initiatives with students to foster product and service innovation.
