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 8,400 associates and is
certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding
member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.

GREAT PLACE TO WORK!
We will deliver for our stakeholders through multiple value creation levers—many of
which are unique to Avient:
o Demand for sustainable solutions, healthcare, and composites, together with Clariant
Masterbatch revenue synergies, that will drive 2021 revenue growth of 8% and long-term growth
in excess of GDP
o Clariant Masterbatch cost synergy capture will result in significant near-term benefit
In addition, we remain committed to increasing annual dividends in line with earnings growth and
opportunistically buying back shares, all while remaining modestly levered.
