We have established a product carbon footprint team that focuses on providing product-specific carbon footprint metrics based on where and how the product is manufactured We have organized our portfolio to enable our customers to solve complex sustainability changes, from enabling the use of more recycled content, formulating with bio- polymers, sustainable infrastructure, human health & safety, lightweighting, reducing volatile organic compounds, reducing energy usage and offering eco-conscious solutions

Unless you have a proper air filtration system and/ or protective equipment, it can be inhaled by anyone in the plant, which can potentially create health concerns. PROGRAM BULLETIN HOW AVIENT CAN HELP SUPPLY CHAIN INTEGRITY The supply for PVC dispersion resin can be volatile. Thanks to our strong supplier relationships, we are typically aware of these changes ahead of time and often will have an alternative formulated before discontinuation affects the supply chain.

Safety and Health The top priority at Avient is the safety and health of our associates, and our ultimate goal is to operate injury free. How Pay is Tied to Company Performance. How our compensation programs contribute to our Company’s success is described below.

Product Stewardship uses the ACC prioritization tool and associated risk assessment methodology to identify, document and communicate environmental, health and safety impacts of our products. Five percent or less of our products by total sales revenue are classified as category 1 or 2 health hazards in accordance with the Globally Harmonized system (GHS) for classification. We maintain data related to the environmental, health and safety of our products in our product stewardship database.
