DISCLOSURE ON EXTRA-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

CIRCULAR ECONOMY

TRAINING GRI [403-5]

In 2018, three locations were internally audited as part of Technicolor’s objective of auditing each industrial location at least every three years. As a result of these audits potential improvement items were identified and evaluated, and more importantly, appropriate associated action plans developed. ACQUISITIONS AND CLOSURES Technicolor has established a process for reviewing locations prior to acquisition and upon closure to identify and understand the likelihood and extent of potential environmental contamination associated with the locations’ activities. This process not only helps limit financial liability, but also to understand the type and level of support required to ensure that the Group’s corporate policies and guidelines are effectively implemented. Once acquired, locations are expected to comply with Technicolor’s EH&S policies and guidelines, which include, as an example, the development of chemical and waste management practices to minimize the potential for uncontrolled releases to air, water and land. Newly acquired businesses are reviewed by Technicolor to identify EH&S aspects of their operations, to evaluate the status and effectiveness of existing management and control systems, to determine compliance with Technicolor EH&S Policies and Guidelines, to communicate Technicolor’s EH&S initiatives and requirements, and finally, to assist in the establishment of location-specific programs that conform to Technicolor’s requirements and meet the needs of the Group.

Technicolor understands that each employee has the ability to impact the Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S) efforts and performance, thus it is critical that they are provided with appropriate tools, resources and knowledge. EH&S training programs develop awareness and skills that allow employees and contractors to perform their jobs in such a manner that will not only ensure compliance with appropriate laws, regulations and policies, but also so that they may prevent accidents which may lead to injuries or harm to the environment. Training programs are evaluated during the EH&S audit process and are a core requirement in the EH&S performance measurement process. In 2018, 42,712 hours of EHS documented training reported through the EHS reporting system ( Enablon ) on a wide variety of environmental and safety compliance and protection, injury prevention, emergency preparation and response, and occupational health topics were provided to employees and contractors throughout Technicolor. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES 2015-2018 Related to the circular economy, Technicolor established the following EH&S goals and objectives for the Group, to be met by its worldwide operations by the end of 2018: 75% minimum waste recycling rate; • reporting to satisfy GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) Sustainability • Reporting Standards.

solvents, batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, or other items that may have been in contact with the hazardous material, for example, cleaning materials or empty containers. All these hazardous wastes are handled, stored, and disposed in compliance with local regulation and Group Policy. Total waste generated was 35,657 tons (about 4.2% of total waste was generated by non-industrial sites). The recycling rate was 75.6% increasing slightly compared to 2017. When compared to total revenue, the average waste generation rate across the business was 8.93 M-Ton/M€ in 2018.

Technicolor has a long-standing commitment to the principles of sound and environmentally responsible management of waste. Establishing the hierarchy of internal re-use, recycling and reclaiming followed by treatment and then landfill as the last option, Technicolor has developed and implemented programs to reduce waste generation, decrease the amount of hazardous waste, decrease waste sent to landfill, and increase recycling. Hazardous waste is defined at each site using guidance from local governing agencies, but in general it means waste chemicals, fuels, oils,
