KEY CUSTOMER CHALLENGES:
• Meet Aggressive Sustainability Goals - While brand owners have made
strong, public sustainability commitments – many are currently trailing far
behind goals
• Develop Strategies to Minimize Plastic Waste - Plastic waste remains
a global priority with consumers and legislatures – forcing brand owners to
implement tangible mitigation strategies
• Increase Post Consumer Recycle (PCR) Utilization & Post
Consumer Recycle Availability - Increasing the use of PCR is far more
challenging than many companies had anticipated
• Meet Legislation Requirements - Legislatures are drafting financial
penalties for companies unable or unwilling to meet post-consumer recycled
content targets

recycled content and
minimize plastic waste

Global
Compact, we began to identify and map
the SDGs that are most material to Avient
and align with our sustainability goals and
business model.
Themes from our associates’ feedback were mapped to a library of competencies that, based on
research, are predictive of success across all industries.
In parallel,
we have also begun to map our activities to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically
including #13 Climate Action.
