and energy to enable the most immersive experiences that audiovisual technology can deliverand create a meaningful impact within our communities.
From movies and TV shows to apps, music, sports, and gaming, Dolby creates spectacularexperiences for billions of people worldwide. We partner with artists, storytellers, developers,
and businesses to revolutionize entertainment and communications with Dolby Atmos, Dolby
Vision, Dolby Cinema, and Dolby.io.
Dolby is committed to the environment and specifically, the goal of becoming carbon neutral by2030. We’ve advanced our long-term strategy, including attaining 100% renewable electricity
for our global operations three years ahead of plan and developing science-based targets toguide meaningful emissions reductions. In 2022, we prioritized improvements to the company’s
emissions data internally and across our value chain, identified ways to mitigate emissions inline with our climate commitments, prioritized low-carbon energy consumption and production
by funding our first on-site solar array, and worked with trusted partners to procure high-quality,
third-party verified renewable energy instruments and carbon offsets.
Note: Due to CDP’s Online Response System (ORS) requiring a 365-day reporting period, we
adjusted the start and end dates of this report to October 1st, 2021, and September 30th, 2022,
to accommodate this; however, the data reflects Dolby’s fiscal year 2022, which started on
September 25th, 2021 and ended on September 30th, 2022. To reflect past years, whereappropriate, the same October 1st and September 30th dates have been used in place of
Dolby’s fiscal year. See historical fiscal years below:
FY21: September 26th, 2020 – September 24th, 2021

C2.1b
(C2.1b) How does your organization define substantive financial or strategic impact
on your business?
Dolby defines substantive financial impact on the business as a level that would have amaterial impact to our key stakeholders (e.g., shareholders, customers, partners, employees,etc.). In some cases, a substantive financial impact could be large dollar amounts (e.g., $10s of
millions - $100s of millions) or small dollar amounts and is also dependent on the nature of
impact. Substantive strategic impact would be the result of situations that impact our ability toachieve key medium-to-long-term objectives, which could be both internal factors (missing a
key goal), or external factors (shift in market dynamics).

Description of process
We are continuing to develop processes for assessing and managing climate-relatedtransition and physical risks/opportunities that could have a substantive financial or
strategic impact. The climate-related risks that we currently account for are managed byour global business continuity and disaster recovery team and this team participates in
the annual enterprise risk assessment that is conducted by our Internal Audit
Department. Dolby’s global business continuity and disaster recovery team conducts
site-level hazard vulnerability analyses in collaboration with senior leadership of lines ofbusiness to document key risks and continuity strategies to operations. Risks are
identified by assessing probability alongside severity and then prioritized. This risk
evaluation considers climate-related hazard types, such as floods, wildfires, inclement
weather, and temperature extremes, among many other hazard types. Potential
operational risks associated with climate change are mitigated through theimplementation of physical and operational disaster recovery, crisis management, andbusiness continuity planning.
The Audit Committee oversees Dolby’s annual enterprise risk assessment, which is
conducted by our Internal Audit Department. The annual enterprise risk assessment
reviews the primary risks facing the company and Dolby’s associated risk mitigation
measures. In addition, the Audit Committee discusses other risk assessment and risk
management policies of the company periodically with management.
In 2023, we will be completing a TCFD-aligned company-wide assessment of climaterelated risks to better understand Dolby’s risk exposure.

C2.2a(C2.2a) Which risk types are considered in your organization's climate-related risk
assessments?

Current
regulation

Relevance& inclusion

Please explain

Relevant,
alwaysincluded

Current legislation is relevant to Dolby and always included since ouroperations use substances regulated under federal, state, local, andinternational laws governing the environment, including those governing
the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, the management,
disposal, and labeling of hazardous substances and waste, and theclean-up of contaminated sites. In addition, future environmental laws
and regulations have the potential to affect our operations, increase ourcosts, decrease our revenue, or change the way we design or
manufacture our products. We face increasing complexity in our productdesign as we adjust to requirements relating to the material compositionof our products. For some products, substituting particular components
containing regulated hazardous substances is more difficult or costly,11

Dolby Laboratories Inc CDP Climate Change Questionnaire 2023 Monday, July24, 2023

and additional redesign efforts could result in production delays. We
could incur costs, fines, and civil or criminal sanctions, third-party
property damage or personal injury claims, or could be required to incur
substantial investigation or remediation costs, if we were to violate or
become liable under environmental laws.
Additionally, the passing of the EU’s mandatory ESG reporting, theCorporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), is relevant to
Dolby and requires expertise and resources to manage this new set ofreporting regulations. Otherwise, Dolby is at risk of not being incompliance with applicable laws.
Emerging
regulation

Relevant,
alwaysincluded

Emerging legislation is relevant to Dolby and always included since ouroperations use substances regulated under federal, state, local, andinternational laws governing the environment, including those governing
the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, the management,
disposal, and labeling of hazardous substances and waste, and theclean-up of contaminated sites. In addition, future environmental laws
and regulations have the potential to affect our operations, increase ourcosts, decrease our revenue, or change the way we design or
manufacture our products. We face increasing complexity in our productdesign as we adjust to requirements relating to the material compositionof our products. For some products, substituting particular components
containing regulated hazardous substances is more difficult or costly,
and additional redesign efforts could result in production delays. We
could incur costs, fines, and civil or criminal sanctions, third-party
property damage or personal injury claims, or could be required to incur
substantial investigation or remediation costs, if we were to violate or
become liable under environmental Laws.
Additionally, the emerging SEC climate-related reporting regulations in
the United States present new corporate risks around disclosure. The
final regulations are still to be determined; however, expertise andresources are required to manage these new regulatory disclosures.

Technology

Relevant,
alwaysincludedTechnological risks, which may be influenced by climate issues, arerelevant and included in our enterprise risk assessment conducted by
our Internal Audit team. We consider the risks presented by technology
and the rapid developments within the field from a business strategy
perspective, as well as a competitive one.
For example, Dolby relies on hardware to support the development of
our software, as well as to operate Dolby Cinemas. The COVID-19
pandemic demonstrated how vulnerable supply chains are andimpacted several of our partners, resulting in disruption of the supply
chain of consumer products and delays in shipments, productdevelopment, and product launches. COVID-19 has adversely impacted

12

Dolby Laboratories Inc CDP Climate Change Questionnaire 2023 Monday, July24, 2023

the cinema market. At various times, our exhibition partners andcustomers have had to either partially or fully discontinue operations.
We believe that climate-related events could have similar impacts on
our supply chain.
Legal

Relevant,
alwaysincluded

Legal risks, which may be influenced by climate issues, are relevant
and included in our enterprise risk assessment process conducted by
our Internal Audit team.
We believe that legal risk is low as we are primarily a licensing company
with limited climate-related liability risks. We believe that our exposure
to litigation related to our climate-related performance and disclosure isvery low; and legal risk due to breach of fiduciary duty to manage
climate-related risks is not relevant. The legal risk due tononcompliance with current climate regulation is also low and we are
evaluating the potential impact of proposed new disclosure
requirements.
Given the passing of the EU’s mandatory ESG reporting (CSRD), andthe proposed SEC rules to enhance and standardize climate-related
disclosures for investors, failing on mandatory climate-related reportingis a legal risk.

MarketRelevant,
alwaysincludedMarket risks, which may be influenced by climate issues, are relevant
and included in our enterprise risk management identification andassessment processes conducted by our Internal Audit team.
The markets for our technologies are highly competitive, and we facecompetitive threats and pricing pressure in our markets.
In general, the market is evolving rapidly when it comes to sustainability
and climate. We have experienced increased interest, as well as moredetailed requests from our customers and expect this to continue.

Reputation

Relevant,
alwaysincluded

Our practices and public disclosures related to environmental, socialand governance (ESG) matters could impact our brand and reputation.
If our ESG practices do not meet evolving investor or other stakeholder
expectations and societal and regulatory standards, or if we are unable
to make progress on or achieve our goals and objectives in this area,
our reputation, our ability to attract or retain employees, and ourattractiveness as an investment or business partner could be negatively
impacted, which could adversely affect our operating results.

AcutephysicalRelevant,
alwaysincluded

Acute physical climate-related risks are relevant to Dolby and always
included as part of our site-level hazard vulnerability analyses. The
climate-related risks that we currently account for are managed by our
global business continuity and disaster recovery team and this teamparticipates in the annual enterprise risk assessment that is conducted13

Dolby Laboratories Inc CDP Climate Change Questionnaire 2023 Monday, July24, 2023

by Internal Audit.
Climate-related risks are identified by assessing probability alongside
severity and then prioritized. Types of acute climate-related risks
considered include increased severity of extreme weather events, suchas wildfires, hurricanes, or floods. Potential operational risks associatedwith climate change are mitigated through the implementation ofphysical and operational disaster recovery, crisis management, andbusiness continuity planning.
Although we have identified Crisis and Incident Management teams,
communication/escalation plans, and guiding principles to respond toevents, our business operations are subject to interruption by natural
disasters and catastrophic events beyond our control, including, but notlimited to, earthquakes, hurricanes, typhoons, tropical storms, floods,
tsunamis, fires, droughts, tornadoes, public health issues andpandemics, severe changes in climate, war, terrorism, and geopoliticalunrest and uncertainties.

services

Dolby’s Cinema products strategy has been directly
influenced by climate-related risks. Over the last 18 months,
Dolby has been developing its science-based targets(SBTs) and as a result, we have established a target to
reduce the energy consumption of our Cinema products.
Specifically, we are planning to reduce the energy
consumption of our servers that are coming to market in thenext few years. Our Sustainability team works closely with
the Cinema team to model out emissions and develop
roadmaps to achieve these targets.

Dolby’s strategy for supplier engagement has been directly
influenced by climate-related risks. Over the last 18 months,
Dolby has been developing its science-based targets(SBTs) and as a result, we have established a target toengage our suppliers on setting their own SBTs.
Specifically, we are aiming to engage with 55% of our
suppliers (by emissions) to set their own SBTs by the endof calendar year 2027. We know that our suppliers are
critical to achieving our goals and are working to support
them on furthering their sustainability efforts.

Yes

Dolby’s strategy for its operations has been directly
influenced by climate-related risks and opportunities. Overthe last 18 months, Dolby has been developing its sciencebased targets (SBTs), and as a result, we have establisheda target to reduce our emissions related to Scopes 1 and 2.
Specifically, we are aiming to reduce Scopes 1 and 2
combined 65% by 2030, primarily through the procurementof renewable energy. In FY22, Dolby achieved 100%
renewable electricity across our global operations and iscommitted to doing so annually. We view renewableelectricity as an opportunity to mitigate risk and movetoward more predictable energy costs.

Description of influence

As we have invested more heavily in sustainability and climate-related
initiatives over the last several years, in FY22, we began tracking our
climate-related expenses through the use of a custom accounting code.
Each year, we develop a budget for the upcoming year, including climaterelated initiatives and other sustainability expenses. This budget goes
through the company’s annual budget review and approval process.
We work closely with the Finance team to account for and track thesetypes of expenses. In particular, given that we have committed to
becoming a CarbonNeutral company in alignment with the CarbonNeutral
Protocol, we are working closely on modeling and forecasting future costsof carbon to position us well to achieve our goal.

Please explain target coverage and identify any exclusions
Dolby commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions 65% by 2030
from a 2019 base year.
This target is company-wide and covers 100% of both our Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
There are no exclusions, but there is estimated data due to limited data availability fromsome of our smaller sites and leased office spaces in EMEA and APAC.

Plan for achieving target, and progress made to the end of the reporting year
This target will largely be achieved by way of our commitment to renewable energy;
specifically, the annual procurement of 100% renewable electricity for our global
operations. We achieved 100% renewable electricity during the reporting year and are26

Dolby Laboratories Inc CDP Climate Change Questionnaire 2023 Monday, July24, 2023

committed to doing so annually. We achieved this through a combination of green tariffs
and unbundled, third-party verified Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) to cover ourelectricity from non-renewable sources. Additionally, we invested in our first solar
installation at our Sunnyvale, California office location. We continue to prioritize energy
efficiency and the transition from natural gas to electric heat generation where feasible.

List the actions which contributed most to achieving this target
In the reporting year, Dolby attained 100% renewable electricity for our global
operations for the first time. We achieved this by procuring a combination of green tariffs
and unbundled, third-party verified Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs). Additionally,
Dolby invested in its first solar installation at its Sunnyvale, California location, which

Please explain target coverage and identify any exclusions
This target commits Dolby to work towards the goal of having 55% of its suppliers (byemissions) set science-based targets (SBTs) by the end of calendar year 2027.
This target is companywide and there are no exclusions.

Plan for achieving target, and progress made to the end of the reporting year
We are aiming to achieve this target by collaborating with teams across the company –Sustainability, Procurement, Cinema, etc. – to develop a robust supplier engagement
program. Through this engagement, we will provide education and resources to support
our suppliers in furthering their own sustainability journeys, and specifically, setting theirown SBTs. We plan to measure, track, and report our progress annually.

43

Dolby Laboratories Inc CDP Climate Change Questionnaire 2023 Monday, July24, 2023

Upstream supplier emissions from Purchased Goods & Services and Capital Goods
represent 42% of our total Scope 3 emissions, making them the largest combined groupof emissions, which we can most effectively manage through supplier engagement. By
targeting the top 55% of suppliers by emissions and having them set SBTs, we willaddress our largest suppliers by their emissions contribution. In addition, by pushingthese suppliers to set targets, they will reduce emissions relevant to Dolby and to theirown organization, leading to an outsized emissions reduction beyond their contributions
to Dolby’s Scope 3 footprint.

Note: In Dolby's 2022 Sustainability Report, our Scope 2 market-based emissions arereported as 3,000 MT CO2e. This discrepancy is the result of not having completed ourEnergy Attribute Certificate (EAC) purchases at the time the inventory was completed
and assured. In FY22, Dolby achieved 100% renewable electricity for the first time bybringing our market-based emissions to zero through the purchase of green tariffs andunbundled, third-party verified EACs in alignment with RE100 guidelines. The 108 MT
CO2e figure above is the result of fugitive emissions that are within Scope 2. Inalignment with the GHG Protocol, where actual data is available for owned or leased
sites and where estimates are made for owned sites, fugitive emissions will fall under
Dolby’s Scope 1. All other fugitive emissions are included under Dolby’s Scope 2.

Processing of sold products
Evaluation status
Not relevant, explanation provided

Please explain
Dolby does not calculate emissions from Processing of Sold Products (PSP) because
emissions are considered immaterial or negligible. 93% of Dolby’s revenue comes fromtechnology licensing agreements that do not require energy for integration. This is incontrast to products usually considered under PSP, which require further processing
and/or refining before the product is considered finished. Examples of such products
include inputs like sugar, steel, or paper board. Dolby will annually assess product sales
to evaluate PSP’s relevancy.

Dolby Laboratories Inc CDP Climate Change Questionnaire 2023 Monday, July24, 2023

Three Rivers Grassland: This Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and Climate, Community& Biodiversity (CCB) certified project is located in Guoluo Tibetan Autonomous
Prefecture, Qinghai Province, China. The project’s aim is to restore the local degradedgrassland ecosystem by seeding grass on degraded land to increase carbon
sequestration and contribute to local development by introducing sustainable grazing
and management of the grassland.
This project removes over 450,000 MT CO2e per year and supports the following
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG1-No poverty, SDG3-Good health andwell-being, SDG5-Gender equality, SDG13-Climate action, and SDG15-Life on Land.

According to the Project Design Report, grazing was strictly forbidden in the first five
years after seeding, and then controlled grazing will be allowed depending on thegrowth situation of the project. The County Forestry and Grassland Bureau measures
the grass yield of the surrounding grasslands in the project area and guides herders tograze in a reasonable area, so the project will not reduce grazing productivity. In
addition, the local government issued subsidies to the herders in the project area who
implemented the prohibition of grazing. All these measures can ensure the long-termsustainable development of the project. In addition, the project area is located in theThree Rivers (Yangtze River, Yellow River, and Lancang River) Source Region. The
implementation of the project can help maintain water and soil, purify water sources,
and play an important role in ensuring water safety for local residents and downstream
residents.

Comment
This project meets “Positive Lists’ criteria since it involves planting new grass. This
meets additionality criteria since it is increasing carbon stock compared to baseline.
10% of the net greenhouse gas (GHG) removals of the project during this monitoring
period will be deposited into the buffer account according to the VCS Agriculture,
Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) Requirement in case of reversal.
In the case of a reversal occurring, all the Standards have a credible process in place topreserve the integrity of credits purchased from forest carbon projects. This is especiallyrelevant for land-use projects since they are more at risk of reversal due to natural
events such as wildfires or hurricanes. In case of reversals, Standards require thatprojects directly compensate for it by retiring the number of tonnes equivalent to themagnitude of reversal. In cases of reversals due to unavoidable reasons (wind, fire,disease), those tonnes are compensated using an insurance mechanism called “buffer
pool.” Projects undergo risk assessments to determine the likelihood of the project
facing a future reversal. Based on that, they are required to contribute a share of their
credits to an insurance pool managed by the Standard.
The methodology takes into consideration leakage from displacement of grazing
activities.
In addition to VCS, this project qualifies for Biodiversity Gold Level status under the
CCB standards for exceptional biodiversity benefits in a Key Biodiversity Area (KBA).
This project is developed using Standards that are International Carbon Reduction andOffset Alliance (ICROA) accredited (Gold Standard and Verra). Credits issued on theseStandards follow methodologies and protocols that aim to adhere to the following
principles of quality set by ICROA: Real, Additional, Measurable, Independently verified,
Permanent and Unique. The supplier also conducts additional due diligence thatanalyzes 30 risk factors, including baseline, permanence, additionality, leakage,107

Project description
Jurua Amazonian Rainforest: This collection of three REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from
Deforestation and Forest Degradation) projects aims to prevent deforestation across
105,000 hectares of pristine rainforest in the Amazon basin, protecting some of theworld’s most biodiverse habitats. In addition to Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), thisproject also utilizes the carbon-crediting program Climate, Community & Biodversity(CCB) Standard.
This project reduces over 360,000 MT CO2e per year and supports the following
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG1-No poverty, SDG2-Zero hunger, SDG3Good health and well-being, SDG4-Quality education, SDG8-Decent work andeconomic growth, SDG14-Life below water, and SDG15-Life on Land.

Through meeting with the communities, the Project Proponents have been able to gain
insights about the project design to better incorporate local engagement in the Project.
The community objective of generating sustainable economic opportunities andimplementing social programs is best achieved with active, ongoing participation andinput from the local communities.
Community members that have been living on the land and making it productive for ten
years or more (e.g., by growing crops or raising livestock) have the right to title this land.
Project Proponents assist families living on the Valparaiso property in obtaining title andfurther recognize which areas are currently deforested and under productive use byeach family, up to the recommended size that a family in the State of Acre needs for asustainable livelihood according to State and Federal laws. All communities, whether
they join the Valparaiso Project or not, will be titled the land they have put under
productive use. This formal recognition of the community’s land tenure and the ability ofcommunities to access credit (i.e., due to their property collateral), will reducegreenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as communities will have greater responsibility andownership over their land.
This project also employs a non-permanence risk deduction of 10%.

Comment
In the case of a reversal occurring, all the Standards have a credible process in place topreserve the integrity of credits purchased from forest carbon projects. This is especiallyrelevant for land-use projects since they are more at risk of reversal due to natural
events such as wildfires or hurricanes. In case of reversals, Standards require thatprojects directly compensate for it by retiring the number of tonnes equivalent to themagnitude of reversal. In cases of reversals due to unavoidable reasons (wind, fire,disease), those tonnes are compensated using an insurance mechanism called “buffer
pool.” Projects undergo risk assessments to determine the likelihood of the project
facing a future reversal. Based on that, they are required to contribute a share of their
credits to an insurance pool managed by the Standard.
This project is developed using Standards that are International Carbon Reduction andOffsetting Accreditation (ICROA) accredited (Gold Standard and Verra). Credits issued

on these Standards follow methodologies and protocols that aim to adhere to thefollowing principles of quality set by ICROA: Real, Additional, Measurable,
Independently verified, Permanent and Unique. The supplier also conducts additional
due diligence that analyzes 30 risk factors, including baseline, permanence,
additionality, leakage, stakeholder engagement, land rights, and performancemonitoring. Projects must pass rigorous due diligence processes to be onboarded andcontracted with.

Comment
This project replaces the use of fossil fuels in households/facilities with renewable andclean solar energy-based systems for meeting thermal/electricity needs. With respect toindoor air pollution, a positive impact is enabled by a reduction in carbon emissions,
black carbon, and soot associated with the use of kerosene for lighting, and firewood
and kerosene for water heating.
This project also results in the generation of direct employment under various roles andcompetence like management, technical, sales, production, etc. Orb also has acomprehensive training program which results in capacity building and development of
employees.

industry all of whom have a strong interest in sustainability. We are collaborating withthem by providing our environmental data and ESG information on a shared supplier
platform.
Our team both responds to customer inquiries and proactively engages with ourcustomers. Currently, we proactively engage with customers who have expressed aninterest in sustainability. As one example, we recently sent out communications to thesecustomers regarding the release of our annual Sustainability Report in an effort to keepthem apprised of our latest accomplishments and progress towards our longer-termgoals. We share Dolby’s climate-related strategy, goals, performance, and progress
through email communications, customer meetings, quarterly business reviews, andother mechanisms.

Impact of engagement, including measures of success
While we have not yet established specific KPIs or success measures, we are maturing
our processes for tracking our engagement and the related outcomes. We have seen
positive results from our customer engagements, including increased collaboration
between Dolby and our customers which has resulted in more direct alignment onshared sustainability goals.
We have made our Sustainability content more prominent for customers on
customers.dolby.com as well as for our Dolby Licensee Community. At this point, wehave not begun tracking any social-related metrics. As our customer engagement efforts
evolve, so will our success metrics and measures.
