Message from Avient’s VP of Sustainability

As the global need for sustainability continues to accelerate, we are continually evolving and taking on the challenge. Sustainability remains integral to achieving Avient’s vision and mission, as well as maintaining responsibility and performance.

The impact of climate change has never been more pressing, so that’s why we are focused on reducing our environmental impact, and on helping customers meet their sustainability goals through innovation, material expertise, and collaboration throughout the value chain.

We established 2030 Sustainability Goals, which set clear expectations for our company related to climate change, product innovation, supplier engagement and overall corporate responsibility, and our associates are engaged and passionate about executing on our sustainability strategy to meet them. As you read this year’s Sustainability Report, you will see that we are making an impact in all four of our sustainability cornerstones, People, Products, Planet and Performance, and are well positioned to meet our 2030 Goals.
