CREATING 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 only 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. Below are a few examples

of Thomson's achievements in our efforts to preserve our natural resources.

annually.

The Air
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 is collecting and

returning over 1.5 million pounds
of air pollution control dust to the

glass making process annually.

Thomson has launched worldwide

energy savings programs which
contribute to global efforts to
reduce air emissions from
electrical generating facilities.

The Water
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 US glass factory re-

cycles 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.

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 regardingThomson's Environmental Health and Safety Programs, write

number button on the remote.)

Once you know how to point and select your way through the menus, you

can apply this rule in the menu control panels, which do the real work in the

These steps allow you to select a menu language, complete the auto channel

label the channels, and set the parental controls. After you select a menu
language, you can skip any of the remaining steps and return to them later.
