This accomplishment was the result of our
aggressive goal setting and relentless efforts to execute our proven four-pillar strategy of specialization, globalization,
commercial excellence and operational excellence.
As an executive’s level of
responsibility within PolyOne increases, so does the percentage of total compensation that is linked to performance in
the form of variable compensation.
We set aggressive performance goals in 2015 under the Annual Plan that focused our efforts on those factors
that we believed were critical to our ongoing success, including revenue growth, earnings improvement, cash
generation from working capital, efficiencies in our operations and the continued implementation of our overall four
pillar strategy of globalization, specialization, commercial excellence and operational excellence.
