In addition, Avient has externally certified EHS&S management systems, including ISO 9001 worldwide. In addition, when evaluating Capital expenditure decisions, we classify the investment opportunity in three main categories: quality, productivity and Environmental Health and Safety (EHS). To arbitrate between different options and further support investments in clean and lower-carbon solutions (that are classified as EHS) even when they do not present the most attractive returns, we give a higher weighting factors to EHS projects that ultimately improve overall scores and prioritize them in our investment decision matrix.

In addition, Avient has externally certified EHS&S management systems, including ISO 9001 worldwide. As such, we estimate the yearly cost to respond as our 2021 EH&S capital improvements: $3,400,000 * 1 year = $3,400,000. In addition, Avient has externally certified EHS&S management systems, including ISO 9001 worldwide.
