Our goal in 2024 is to fully automate this process and expand
the PCF data available for the Avient portfolio.
Continuous improvement efforts led Avient to initiate a targeted assessment of 460 suppliers and our 20 largest customers to assess carbon emissions data availability and reduction plans.
Sustainability metrics represent 2023 data or
12-month approximate values based on available data from reporting facilities and are often made in reliance on third-party supplier information.
