Avient and IVCC created a new medium scale masterbatch production laboratory in China to support research and development into non-registered novel active ingredients for incorporation into long lasting treated nets. The pioneering facility supplies a platform to scale-up the formulation development and accelerate the process of launching innovative long lasting treated nets for protection against malaria together with innovation partners. The novel insecticides in development are formulated tightly into the masterbatch, allowing best bio-efficiency performance with a permanent but slow release to the surface—just enough to kill any mosquito by contact.

Our strategy is enabled by our focus on four Strategic Drivers: portfolio prioritization, amplify innovation, digital for operational excellence and growth, and leadership, talent and culture for the Avient of the future.

Our progress in leadership diversity, employee safety, and community engagement helped us earn these recognitions.

Our key development opportunities include nomination-based leadership programs (such as NextGen, Emerging Leaders and Elevate), foundational leadership training for all current or aspiring people managers, called Core Leadership, and LSS training at a variety of levels, where individuals can be certified for job-specific LSS programs, up through Master Black Belt certification. We also focus on development for our production associates in aspects of LSS, safety, continuous improvement, and our ENGAGE program. This is completed through regular performance feedback, individual development plans, mentoring programs and nomination-based leadership development programs for key top talent.

We strive to maintain a competitive pay program that serves to attract, retain, motivate and reward our associates. We offer merit-based programs and general increase programs in support of this objective. Leaders at our global facilities are in contact with local community leadership such as police and fire, labor safety organizations, local affiliates of global environmental regulatory agencies, local officials and/or trade unions and works councils.

We do this by hiring the best and brightest people through robust campus and mid-career recruiting, as well as by developing talent from within through unique leadership development opportunities. One such initiative is LEAD by Women, a leadership development initiative where PolyOne associates build their skills with the goal of advancing diversity and inclusion at all levels of the Company.
