We have also established a product carbon footprint team that focuses on providing product-specific
carbon footprint (PCF) metrics to downstream customers based on where and how the product is manufactured.
To date we have completed over 2,000 product carbon footprint calculations.
For Avient, the most material aspect of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is our Product Carbon Footprint (PCF).

Reviewing with management the systems that are in place to
monitor and mitigate the Company’s carbon footprint
Retained energy
attribute credits from these projects will allow for the reduction of Scope 2 emissions by
approximately 90,000 MT CO2e per year, a significant lowering of our carbon footprint.
