For example, we have recently updated our Position on Human Rights to expand our commitment to advancing human rights principles. Our offerings include specialty engineered materials, advanced composites, color and additive systems and polymer distribution. This has broadened even further, as our reach and presence around the world expanded with our acquisition of Clariant Masterbatch in 2020.

Examples include: • Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high- performance materials that require less plastic • Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation • Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater, improve the recyclability of materials and advance a circular economy • Composite solutions to support accelerated growth of 5G / fiber-optic infrastructure investment as the world demands greater and faster connectivity Avient employs approximately 9,100 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste. OUR VISION At Avient, we create specialized and sustainable material solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world.
