CRF TING A GREENER FUTURE

At Thomson Consumer Electronics we are dedicated to the preservation of our natural heritage and to a healthy and safe way of life for current and future

generations. This is a global effort which encompasses every THOMSON facility throughout the world'.

We believe that clean air, clean water, a protected earth, and healthy people are

not on!y practical and desirable goals, but achievable ones as well. Our Corporate Environmental, Health and Safety charter acknowledges our commitment to

protect these precious assets and provides a challenging vision and guideline for conducting our business.

_ THOMSON CONSUMERELECTRONICS

Below are a few examplesof Thomson's achievements in our efforts to preserve our natural resources.

THE EARTH THE AIR THE WATER

Thomson reclaims millions of pounds

of hazardous waste annually, diverting it from landfills.

Thomson treats millions of pounds of waste water Sludge annually and

renders it non-hazardous.

Thomsonrecycles over 50 million

pounds of non-hazardous material annually that otherwise would have been treated as trash, an overall recovery rate of 50%.

Thomson globally recycles millions of

pounds of broken television picture

tube glass annually through both

internal and external reclaim processes.

Thomson has also increased its usage of recycled materials for packaging of our products. For example, in the U.S. and

Mexico our television plants use recycled content in our television cartons and instruction booklets. The inks used for the print on cartons and instruction booklets are soy based. For a free brochure regarding Thomson's Environmental Health and Safety

Programs, write to Thomson Consumer Electronics' address below, attention Environmental Programs: INH340.

Please do not send any products to the Indianapolis address listed in this manual or on the carton. This will only add delays in service for your product.

Thomson has replaced solvent-based

paints at many locations resulting in an 80% reduction in toxic air emissions for

equivalent material used.

Thomson has eliminated the use Of

ozone-depleting substances at

television manufacturing facilities

around the world.

Thomson collects and returns over 1.5

million pounds of glass and furnace dust to the glass making process

annually.

Thomson has launched worldwide

energy savings programs which contribute to efforts to reduce air

emissions from electrical generating

facilities.

Thomson recovers over 2 million

POUnds of fine glass particles from process water each year and recycles

them back into its glass furnaces. Thomson's state-of-the-art waste water

treatment plants filter out over 26 million pounds of solids from process

water each year. Thomson's U.S. glass factory recycles

2,500 gallons of water per minute and cleans 2.6 million gallons of water per day.

Thomson is researching new processes

and is developing new manufacturing equipment and technologies to further reduce large volume water use.
