<At Th0msonConsumer Electronics we are dedicated t& the preservation of_our

natural heritage and to a healthy and safe Way oT life for current and future
generations. This isa global effort which encompasses every THOMSON facility.
throughout the world.

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

THE EARTH

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.

Thomson recycles 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.

THE AIR

Thomson has replaced solvent-based
paints at many locations resulting in an

80% reduction in toxicair emissions for
equivelant 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 glassmaking process annually.
Thomson has launched worldwide

energy savings programs which

contribute to effortS to reduce air
emissions from electrical generating

facilities.

TH EWATE R

Thomson recovers over 2 million
pounds of fine glass particles from
process water each year and recycles
them back into its glassfurnaces.

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 Ibrge 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
