We leveraged the World Resources Institute Aqueduct Water Risk Tool to develop our water stress evaluation framework, which identified that 61% of our facilities are located outside of extremely high or high water stress areas (detailed analysis in Metrics section). While the vast majority of Avient sites are in urban and suburban areas, we recognize the critical importance of biodiversity not only for ecological balance, but also within the context of sustainable business practices. In line with our commitment to conserve biodiversity, Avient has developed a biodiversity risk assessment framework that draws upon data from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Biodiversity Risk Filter.
