plastics) stigmatized
Rising expectations for rapid innovation and
displacement of older, heavily carbon-
intensive designs and manufacturing
processes
NDC countries expected to innovate and
seek rapid minimization of customers' scope
3 emissions
Increased concern from stakeholders for not
addressing climate change globally or for
the chemicals sector
Acute & Chronic Risk
Possible direct damage to fixed assets and
logistics disruptions in both our value chain
and operations
More frequent and intense weather events
and changing preciptation patterns are likely
to damage manufaturing faciliites, disrupt
logistics and sourcing activities, and
negatively affect employee health and
communities where we operate
More frequent and intense weather events
and changing preciptation patterns are likely
to affect the performance of grids and
thermal plants while pushing up demand for
cooling, damage fixed assets, disrupt
logistics and sourcing activities, and
negatively affect employee health and
communities where we operate

Resource
Efficiency
Opportunity
More efficient production and distribution
processes, reduced natural resource usage,
continued use of recycling, and inclusion of
recycled materials in our products such as
reSoundTM R, ColorMatrix™ Capture™
Oxygen Scavenger, among others will
contribute to increasing product revenues
and reduced operating costs
Resource efficiency efforts supported by
capital allocation in NDC countries is more
likely and may accelerate a path toward
maximizing ROI and reducing operating
costs
Less regulatory and pressure to incentivize
may cause gains from efforts to lag
Energy Source
Opportunity
Use of greater external financing options,
such as operating lease arrangements or
energy performance shared savings
contracts, to source lower emission-energy
and new technologies, such as carbon
capture, utilization & storage (CCUS), in our
operations may reduce operating costs and
maximize returns on investment
Use of lower emission-sources of energy in
operations will lower operating costs and
contribute toward reductions of our scope 1
and 2 emissions and product carbon
intensities
Use of renewable energy, increased
efficiency, and electrification initiatives will
lower operating costs and contribute toward
reductions of our scope 1 and 2 emissions
and product carbon intensities.
We are positioned to capture
enhanced market share over expanding and
emerging needs that will also enable climate
resiliency
High revenue growth opportunities to meet
demand for highly efficient chemical
materials that will contribute to lowering
customers' emissions as part of our
Sustainable Solutions label
High to moderate revenue growth
opportunities for new chemical materials
pertinent to Avient's customers' strategies
(low-carbon and otherwise) and are in
compliance with any existing regulations
(i.e., VOC reducing materials that address
vehicle air quality standards)

Avient has formulated a new material that offers blue jean stain resistance similar to that of silicone*, yet with
all the benefits of using a TPE: increased design freedom, an efficient supply chain leading to faster speed to
market, and lower total part costs.
