Our policies on slavery and human trafficking
The Avient Code of Conduct establishes a clear set of ethical and behavioral standards for the employees of Avient for our business
conduct.
Organisations are being challenged to operate in a more transparent fashion and are expected to disclose more information than ever
before; with that in mind, ColorMatrix intends to drive greater disclosure from our suppliers in order to better understand our supply
chain and to mitigate any risks related to modern slavery.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-07/avient-human-rights-position-statement-updated-july-2021.pdf
We recognize that there are many different organizations that have set forth international
human rights principles, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and The International Labor
Organization’s (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work .
Regular engagement with these key stakeholders builds positive
community relations, sets the expectation for open dialogue related to the effectiveness of our policy
implementation, and assists with preparedness and collaboration in the event of an issue in our
operations in that community.

M&A remains a key component of maintaining material science competitiveness that can enable our customers’
sustainability goals and in turn drive performance at PolyOne.
Additionally, PolyOne is a member of the American Chemistry Council and Plastic Industry Association’s Operation
Clean Sweep®, a set of guidelines for process, training and audit of our operations to prevent plastic pellet loss into
