Datacolor FY 2022-2023 Sustainability Report2Message from the Chairman and CEO
Welcome to Datacolor’s second sustainability report. Since our inaugural report last year, we have continued to evolve and mature ourapproach to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.
Throughout fiscal year 2022-2023, we focused on taking actions across all our material topics and in this report, you will read examples of
how we continue to invest and meet our commitments. Here are a few key achievements from this year
§ We expanded the reporting scope of our carbon footprint, calculating impacts from waste and recycling, business travel and employee
commuting.
§ Energy efficiency projects at our manufacturing facility in Suzhou, China resulted in less energy use, even as we increased production.
§ A cross-functional team worked together to develop a new approach to product compliance that provides greater granularity of analysis
across a number of environmental regulations.

Datacolor FY 2022-2023 Sustainability Report3

Looking ahead, we see opportunities to make further sustainability
progress by continuing efforts in several key areas, including:§

Implementing energy efficiency projects identified during
energy audits at our office in New Jersey (USA) and ourmanufacturing location in Suzhou (China), as we fulfill ourcommitment to reduce our Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon
emissions by 50% by 2030.

We are proud of our progress so far, and know that there is stillmuch more to come. Datacolor’s sustainability journey, led by our
Sustainability Steering Council and with oversight by the Board of
Directors, has exciting developments ahead. We hope you’ll join
us on the journey.

§ Redesigning product packaging to remove non-renewablematerials and promote recycling.
§ Extending e-waste documentation to all facilities, to ensure
we are tracking e-waste consistently across Datacolor’s
global locations.
§ Deepening supplier engagement on sustainability issues,
including expanded requirements for formal sign-off on our
Supplier Code of Conduct.

initiatives and guide the structure and content of this sustainability
report.

While Datacolor has a long history of corporate social responsibility,
in late 2021 the company more formally developed its sustainability
strategy and approach to environmental, social and governance(ESG) issues.

Sustainability Steering Committee

Materiality
Working with an outside sustainability consulting firm, Datacolor
completed its first materiality assessment in 2021 to identify andorganize the most important sustainability topics.
Using the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB)
Standards for the Hardware Industry and the Software & IT Services
Industry as a guide, we identified nine material topics organized
into three workstreams: Responsible Operations, Sustainable
Products, and Rewarding Workplace.
The resulting sustainability framework was used to develop a threeyear sustainability roadmap to prioritize and plan for future ESG

Rewarding Workplace

Datacolor’s Sustainability Steering Committee, comprising crossfunctional senior leaders, is responsible for the oversight andsponsorship of ESG activities. The Committee meets monthly
to review progress against the annual sustainability action plan,
identify and direct resources to upcoming initiatives and ensure
seamless coordination between departments working on complex
environmental and social initiatives. Datacolor’s Chief Executive
Officer, chair of the Sustainability Steering Committee, reports
directly to the Board of Directors.
During the reporting year, the Sustainability Steering Committee
oversaw management of a wide variety of ESG issues, but focusedparticularly on four key topics:§ Expanding the scope of our supply chain sustainability
program, including a new supplier screening questionnaire§ Developing a carbon reduction plan, beginning with anenergy audit of our manufacturing facility in China andimplementation of high-priority energy efficiency projects§ Integrating sustainability considerations into Datacolor’s
product development process, from sourcing to end-of-life,
including an expanded refurbishment program in North
America§ Bolstering our safety tracking systems to ensure that all
Datacolor offices have appropriate policies and proceduresto provide a safe and healthy workplace.

Operations

Ethics and Integrity
At Datacolor, every decision we make is grounded in acommitment to ethics and integrity. Our corporate governancestructure and sustainability practices ensure that fairness, integrity
and accountability are embedded across all business functions.
Code of Ethics/Policies
In FY 2021-2022, we updated our employee policies andcreated a separate Global Code of Conduct, which lays out our
expectations and requirements for ethical business practices, fairlabor and working conditions and environmental responsibility
including:Learning and Ethics.
The Code of Conduct applies to all executives, directors,
managers, and permanent and temporary employees of thecompany. This policy applies to all prospective and current
employees of the company, as well as volunteers, contractors
and consultants. Suppliers are expected to abide by these samevalues, which are covered separately in our Supplier Code of
Conduct.
Oversight of this policy is provided by Datacolor’s Board of
Directors. Responsibility for implementing the policy is held by theCompliance Officer.

§ Bribery and corruption§ Conflict of interest and competition§ Confidentiality and trade secrets§ Diversity and inclusion§ Discrimination and harassment§ Work hours, wages and benefits§ Professional growth and development§ Privacy and data protection§ Health and safety§ Workplace security§ Child labor and forced labor§ Freedom of association

This year, Datacolor employees completed compliance training
covering the Global Code of Conduct and Datacolor core values:
Customer Focus, Teamwork, Ownership, Execution, Passion,

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblower Protection
Datacolor adopted a whistleblower policy in 2019, which was later incorporated into the Global Code of Conduct. The policy provides
options for employees and contractors to report breaches of general law, violations of Datacolor policies, or actions contrary to generally
recognized principles of business ethics.
Under the Whistleblower Policy, Datacolor will not take adverse action against the Whistleblower for making disclosures in good faith, norwill it permit any employee or other person subject to Datacolor’s control to retaliate against the Whistleblower. This protection of good faithdisclosures applies regardless of the outcome of the investigation and even if a disclosure contains mistakes or errors. This protection also
extends to persons who provide evidence or otherwise participate in the investigation.
Employees or contractors who retaliate against a Whistleblower or against anyone who provides evidence or otherwise participates in an
investigation are subject to disciplinary action including termination of employment or business relations.

Datacolor FY 2022-2023 Sustainability Report14Supply Chain Sustainability
Our approach to supply chain sustainability is about ensuringthat Datacolor’s sustainability values, expectations andrequirements are upheld throughout the supply chain--on both theenvironmental and social issues. This includes how we choose
our suppliers, how we mitigate sustainability risk in the supply
chain, and ongoing engagement and collaboration with key
suppliers that share our values.
Our strategies:
1. Engage with suppliers so they understand our expectations
2. Implement supplier screening to identify and mitigate
sustainability risk
3. Engage in sustainable supply chain collaboration
opportunities
Supplier Code of Conduct
We are committed to conducting our business in an ethical,
legal and socially responsible manner, and we expect Datacolor
suppliers to share this commitment. Although there may bedifferent legal and cultural environments applicable to suppliers,
we require that suppliers comply with our Supplier Code of
Conduct and meet minimum requirements in the following areas:§ Compliance with laws, regulations and published standards§ Anticorruption and fair competition practices§ Intellectual property§ Environmental practices§ Occupational health and safety practices§ Labor and human rights practices§ Monitoring, auditing and compliance
While this policy applies to all suppliers, significant suppliers—
those who provide materials directly related to the production of
our products—are required to sign their acknowledgment of ourCode. In FY 2022-2023, we expanded that requirement to also
include service providers with whom Datacolor spent at least$250,000 during the reporting period.
Datacolor reserves the right (in addition to all other legal andcontractual rights) to disqualify any potential supplier or terminate
any relationship with any current supplier found to be in violationof our Supplier Code of Conduct.

Carbon and Climate
Datacolor recognizes that climate change is an urgent andcomplex challenge and that we have a role to play. We arecommitted to reducing our carbon footprint throughout our value
chain and implementing decarbonization strategies into our
product design process.

Emissions By Scope (MTCO2e)

Scope 1 12%

Scope 2 50%

Scope 3 38%

Our strategies:
1. Track and report our energy use, so that we can measureprogress over time
2. Take a lifecycle approach to reduce our carbon footprint
Carbon Footprint
With climate change being an urgent and complex challenge,
we are committed to reducing our Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon
footprint by 50% by 2030.
Last year, we completed our baseline greenhouse gas (GHG),
calculating our carbon footprint to better understand ouroperations’ impacts and opportunities for improvement.
This year we expanded the scope of our data collection to look
more closely at our supply chain.
The results showed that, unsurprisingly, our biggest impacts
are related to our manufacturing operations. And across ouremissions-generating activities, electricity accounts for exactly
half (50.0%) of our FY 2022-2023 emissions. As a result, we arefocusing on energy efficiency opportunities in our manufacturing
facilities to drive carbon reduction over the next few years.
Datacolor FY 2022-2023 Sustainability Report16

Energy
While a few of our offices use natural gas for heating during thecooler months, our main source of energy comes from electricity
consumption, primarily at our manufacturing facility in Suzhou,
China.

Sustainable
Products

Product Safety
At Datacolor, we think about product safety in an expansive way– from the safe operation and handling of our products to theprivacy and security of the information we store.
Our strategies:
1. Ensure product safety is built into the entire lifecycle, fromdesign  manufacturing  use  end-of-life
2. Enable customers to use our products safely throughtraining and education
3. Implement systems to protect data privacy and security

Quality Assurance
We are relentless about the reliability and quality of our products.
Datacolor is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified.
Our quality management systems include six key elements:§ Document control ensures that everyone in the organization
has access to the most accurate and recent instructions andmaintains proper records§ Record control includes the identification, storage, retention,
protection, disposition, and retrieval of records, supporting
compliance and enhancing the accessibility of data to
improve business operations§ Internal audits identify and mitigate operational risks andcheck the effectiveness of internal controls in areas likeadministration, accounting, and financial reporting§ Product control helps us identify and eliminate theproduction and delivery of products or services that fail tomatch up to the specified quality requirements§ Corrective action processes define a problem, determine its
cause, contain it, and develop appropriate actions to preventthe issue from occurring again§ Risk and preventive action creates processes to determine
the risks and opportunities that need to be addressed toassure the quality management system is effective and canachieve continual improvement

Datacolor FY 2022-2023 Sustainability Report19

Product Safety

1. Privacy must be proactive, not reactive

To ensure that our products can be operated and handled safely,
we engage:

Anticipate and prevent events that violate privacy. Identify systems
that do a poor job of protecting the privacy and take steps tocorrect them. This principle reflects a high-level commitment
to privacy and the establishment of ways to integrate privacy
concerns into new projects.

§ Safety-Focused Design» Datacolor product designers have extensive safety
guidelines and protocols, ensuring that safety
considerations are taken into account throughout thedesign process.

§ Third-Party Safety Certification» Datacolor uses independent, third-party safety andreliability testing. These testing and certifications
are designed to ensure that products and theircomponents meet applicable laws, regulations
and industry standards.

Data Privacy & Security
Datacolor has integrated data protection and privacy features
into system engineering, practices, and procedures. Thisapproach, called “Privacy by Design,” guides our Privacy Policy,
our approach to data handling and storage, the use of personallyidentifiable information, and cybersecurity. We follow these sevencore principles:

2. Privacy must be the default setting
Systems should automatically protect privacy, even if a user
does nothing. For example, you should create user settings thatare automatically set to the highest privacy level, and default tocollecting the least personal information needed.
3. Privacy must be embedded in the design
Privacy should form part of a system’s architecture. Privacy
should not be sacrificed just for easier interaction and handling.
When involving third-party service providers for processing
personal data, those service providers also need to follow theprivacy requirements that Datacolor needs to meet. This often
requires a – so-called – Data Processing Agreement as part ofthe service contract.
4. Privacy integrations must offer full functionality
Users should never have to make the choice between fullfunctionality and privacy protection. They should have full accessto features without having to give up more of their personal
information (positive-sum instead of zero-sum).

Datacolor FY 2022-2023 Sustainability Report20

5. Systems must offer end-to-end security and fulllifecycle protection
Privacy protections follow the data, wherever it goes. These
principles apply when the data is first created, shared withothers, and then finally archived. Appropriate encryption andauthentication should protect the data till the very end when it
finally gets deleted.
6. Privacy standards must offer visibility and transparency
Datacolor is open and accountable about how we collect, store
and use personal information. We are providing a global company
privacy policy which can be found on our website explaining
exactly how we handle personal data.

7. Respect for User Privacy
Always keep the privacy interests of the user in mind. Ask forconsent from the user, give notice about privacy policy updates,
and remain open and accountable. There needs to be a purpose
for collecting data. Don’t store anything personal just because“it’s nice to have” or “we might need this in the future”. Make surethat there is a reason for storing the data and that the user has
given consent or there is a legal basis that allows us to store andprocess the data.

Datacolor FY 2022-2023 Sustainability Report21Materials Management
We think carefully about the materials that we use and how tominimize their impact on the environment. Because our ultimate
goal is to design products that solely use recycled and renewablematerials, we’re incorporating that thinking into product designand development, supplier selection, purchasing and packaging.
Our strategies:
1. Shift to low-impact raw materials
2. Prioritize raw materials with verified sustainability practices
3. Prioritize packaging that is made from renewable/recyclable
materials and packaging that can easily be recycled
Materials of Concern
Because we sell our product globally, Datacolor must comply witha complex set of rules, regulations and laws about chemicals,
metals and minerals. We work carefully with customers to ensurethat Datacolor products meet their specifications and are incompliance with applicable requirements.

§ ROHS 2.0§ REACH-SVHC and Appendix 17§ EU-POPS§ WEEE Directive§ California Prop 65§ Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)§ Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) Toxic
Substances List
Conflict minerals refers to raw materials that come from aparticular part of the world where conflict is occurring and affects
the mining and trading of those materials. They currently include
the metals tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold, which are the extractsof the minerals cassiterite, columbite-tantalite and wolframite,
respectively. Datacolor does not source any conflict minerals
directly. For component parts that may include related metals, wework with suppliers to ensure they have appropriate tracking andcontrols in place.

This year, we expanded our product compliance processes toinclude product-level testing. This process allows us to more
specifically target parts and components that use restricted
substances and pursue modifications to parts and suppliers whenneeded. Our product testing covers:

Packaging
Across our industrial and commercial product lines we thinkcarefully about packaging, balancing the need to protect eachproduct during transportation with the environmental impacts
and financial cost of packaging systems. Next year, we will belaunching a more detailed review of our consumer packaging,including:§ Developing a plan to ensure we provide clear documentation
about how to safely recycle or dispose of productcomponents and packaging for every
Datacolor product§ Ensuring that all plastic packaging has the recycling number(1-7) identified on all new products and existing products withnew packaging configurations§ Amending our product design process to include a specificstep to consider the environmental impacts of packaging
decisions§ Identifying opportunities to move away from plastic packaging
for selected consumer products

Datacolor FY 2022-2023 Sustainability Report23This year, we undertook two significant projects to improve
our packaging impacts. First, we expanded our participation inGreenDot®, an internationally-recognized packaging take-backand recycling program. The Green Dot® on Datacolor packaging
indicates that a financial contribution has been paid to a nationallyauthorized take-back system.
We also began a process to redesign our product packaging
away from plastic and towards 100% renewable and recyclable
materials. During the reporting year, we launched two new
product configurations:

Datacolor FY 2022-2023 Sustainability Report24End of Life Management
We are committed to integrating and optimizing the environmental impacts of our products and services at every stage of the productlife cycle, with the goal that our products should never end up in a landfill. Extending the useful life of our products, creating secondary
marketplaces for used/refurbished products, and empowering customers to make smart end-of-life disposition choices help us fulfill thatcommitment.
Our strategies:
1. Design products that can be easily repaired, refurbished and recycled
2. Extend the lifecycle of products through reuse, donation and refurbishment programs
3. Develop programs to understand and eliminate the landfilling of products at the end of their useful life
Refurbishment Program
To manage the end-of-life impacts for our consumer products, which typically have a lower price point and a shorter lifespan, Datacolor has
developed a comprehensive refurbishment program. In fiscal year 2022-2023, Datacolor generated more than $199,400 in revenue fromthe sale of refurbished units.
§ In the United States, Datacolor partners with eBay to sell certified refurbished products. From Datacolor’s eBay store, customers getaccess to eBay’s Certified Refurbished Programs’ longer warranty. Datacolor Certified Refurbished is one of eBay’s most reputablesellers, consistently delivering outstanding customer service.
§ In Asia, our refurbishment program is managed by our distributor, who sells them in an exclusive e-store. Customers can purchaserefurbished products at a lower price, but with the same warranty as new products.
§ In Europe, users and partners send their products back to Datacolor to refurbish the units with new serial numbers and new packaging.
Refurbished units are sent to selected retailers, who sell the products to new users. Units that are too damaged for refurbishment arerecycled by a third party.

Datacolor FY 2022-2023 Sustainability Report25Trade-In Program
Our industrial product lines are designed to work for many years, and their higher price point encourages users to extend each unit’s usefullife to the maximum extent possible. Nonetheless, when the time comes for a user to upgrade their product, Datacolor is ready to minimize
the older product’s end-of-life impacts.
Our trade-in programs allow selected customers to ship back their original unit to Datacolor, where we salvage parts that can be usedagain, such as monochromators and specular port mechanisms. The remaining parts are then destroyed and disposed according to local
regulations.

employees with what they need, so that they can perform at theirbest, we have a three-prong approach to engagement:§ Training for directors and managers: good management
skills do not just appear; they need to be built and reinforced
over time. In fiscal year 2022-2023, we offered a webinar on
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. A follow-up survey showedthat the training was well received, with positive feedback
across the company.
§ Engagement surveys: we conduct an annual engagement
survey to track employee sentiment over time. We ask
questions about leadership and mission, training anddevelopment, career opportunities, care for employees andperformance management. In fiscal year 2022-2023, 90% of
Datacolor employees participated in the engagement survey,
with an overall score of 4.2 (our of 5), an increase of 0.1 fromthe previous year.

encourage employees to speak up outside of formal
engagement channels. We are a close-knit team andopportunities to collaborate and innovate create daily
opportunities to strengthen our team relationships.
In FY 2022-2023, we added two new employee development
tools. First, we began to develop new tools for knowledge transfer,
making sure that important information and processes areconveyed from individual employees to their colleagues. Second,

Datacolor’s carbon footprint, as well as the supporting
environmental data used to make carbon calculations, following
the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and included:§ Scope 1» Stationary: natural gas used for heating buildings» Mobile: company vehicles that utilize diesel andunleaded gasoline and which are owned or leased by
the company

waste. Waste streams included: waste to landfill, mixed
recycling, aqueous hazardous waste, solid hazardouswaste» Category 6: Business travel: passenger car vehicles
owned and operated by third parties, including vehicles
owned by employees, where the company reimburses
employees and other third parties for vehicle use» Category 7: Employee commuting: calculated based on
employee survey data, including in-office vs. remote
work, estimated round trip travel distance to and fromthe office, the method of commute, carpool information,and vehicle model and fuel type for person passenger
vehicle when driving/carpooling. Average documented
fuel/electricity consumption data for each vehicle todetermine the annual fuel or electricity usage for each
commuting employee creates a reasonable estimate ofaverage annual emissions per employee.

§ Scope 2» Electricity: (grid) used to power building systems
including HVAC, lighting, irrigation, and water heating§ Scope 3» Category 5: Waste in operations: waste generated
at our headquarters in New Jersey (USA) and ourmanufacturing site in Suzhou (China), which makes up
the bulk of our employee base and the majority of our
