Employee Recruitment
Avient’s success is driven by having the best talent in the right roles.
Even if our shareholders ratify the appointment, the Audit
Committee may, in its discretion, direct the appointment of a different independent registered public
accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our best
interests and the best interests of our shareholders.
Beggs was determined to be over the excise tax limit, however her severance benefits have not been reduced as it was determined that the best net
treatment would be for Ms.

As such, we ensure that our
operations meet both legal and best-in-class standards.
We conduct regular
reviews and tests of our cybersecurity program and also leverage audits by our internal audit
team, penetration and vulnerability testing and other exercises to evaluate the effectiveness of our
cybersecurity program and improve our security measures and planning.
This training focuses on the importance of being an Inclusive Leader, introducing the 6 Traits of Top
Leaders, as well as Unconscious Bias and Recruiting Best Practices to ensure all candidates, internal
and external, have the best engagement experience.

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-06/Foaming Prediction Service Product Bulletin_A4.pdf
Validating foamed parts before production requires
extensive testing, which is time-consuming and
can be expensive.
This service reduces the need for costly,
and timely, physical trials and testing.
However, the end user remains
responsible for conducting any needed testing and evaluation
under its own specific conditions of use and processes.

The best gates, or openings, for molten plastic to enter the mold are hot runner molds, full-round runners, or modified trapezoid runners.
Metal-filled polymers provide the best of both worlds, while offering thermal and electrical conductivity and ease of manufacturing because they can be injection-molded.
