Valeurs personnelles Intégrité, honnêteté et respect Intégrité, honnêteté, et respect commencent avec chacun d’entre nous — les jugements et décisions que nous prenons en tant qu’individus affectent la manière dont Avient est perçue sur le marché et dans les collectivités où nous sommes présents. L’apparence d’un conflit peut tout autant affecter notre réputation qu’un conflit réel. Certains des conflits d’intérêts les plus fréquents peuvent survenir lorsque vous : • Participez à des activités en concurrence, ou qui semblent en concurrence avec les intérêts de notre société ; • Recevez tout avantage personnel ou financier, ou avez un intérêt financier, travaillez ou fournissez des services pour une société qui fait ou cherche à faire des affaires avec nous ou un concurrent ; • Laissez vos décisions professionnelles être influencées, ou sembler être influencées par des intérêts personnel ou familiaux ou des amitiés - par exemple, lorsque vous ou un membre de votre famille détenez ou cherchez à faire des affaires avec Avient ; • Avez un autre emploi (y compris le fait de siéger à un conseil d’administration) qui affecte négativement vos performances professionnelles ou interfère avec vos responsabilités auprès d’Avient ; • Utilisez les biens, informations ou ressources de la société pour votre avantage personnel ou l’avantage de tiers ; • Recrutez, encadrez ou avez une ligne hiérarchique directe ou indirecte avec un membre de votre famille, y compris votre belle- famille, ou quelqu’un avec qui vous avez eu une relation amoureuse
