These roles include highly-coveted rotational development programs where individuals are able to gain experience in various departments and jobs within or across functions, contributing their skills while also building diverse, well-rounded knowledge of our Company and its many stakeholders. Our Employee Resource Groups include: PRIDE at Avient (which is working to maintain a safe and accepting environment that enables LGBTQ+ associates to perform to their fullest potential and contribute to the success of our Company), HYPE (which stands for Harnessing Young Professional Energy and is building a collaborative network of Avient’s young professionals), LEAD by Women (which promotes diversity and inclusion by increasing access to the tools and resources necessary to build leadership skills and accelerate careers) and EMBRACE (which focuses on understanding and valuing the many diverse cultures and backgrounds of our associates). We help our customers increase post- consumer recycled content, formulate with bio-based materials, use less material during production, reduce energy required for production, and build alternative energy applications.

While we are proud of our safety and financial performance, we welcome the challenge of continually building upon our positive momentum, which is why we are always refining our culture. One such initiative is LEAD by Women, a leadership development initiative where PolyOne associates build their skills with the goal of advancing diversity and inclusion at all levels of the Company.
