A Great Place to Work ®

Our ongoing employee feedback is highly valued, discussed, and most importantly, acted upon, to make improvements. In addition to holding action planning sessions, new manager assimilations and 360 reviews, we also conduct annual employee engagement surveys. Last year, employees in over 40 countries, and more than 130 locations participated, providing actionable feedback to support our ongoing employee engagement efforts. We are proud that our employees feel we are a Great Place to Work®, and in 2024, we received our sixth certification. Understanding how our employees feel about their experiences at Avient and our culture is critical and helps us ensure that the right competencies and behaviors are developed across the organization.

Products

Innovation is the lifeblood of a materials solutions company, and our transformation has been defined by the ongoing evolution of our portfolio offerings to meet the product performance and sustainability needs of our customers. We believe our innovation pipeline remains robust, as we leverage our formulation and materials science expertise. Our innovations cover a broad range of products in several end markets, from insulator rods in power distribution to life saving vests and protective materials for the military and law enforcement agencies manufactured using Dyneema® fiber.

We offer a broad portfolio of technologies that help our customers succeed, while enabling a sustainable world. Our efforts focus on serving secular trends and supporting our customers' goals to lightweight, use less materials, use bio-based materials, or increase the recyclability or recycled content of their end products. Our materials science expertise can make possible equal or better product performance while using less material, reducing energy consumption, minimizing waste or by incorporating into products used for clean energy infrastructure, like wind and solar, just to name a few. As the world continues to shift from operating in a linear economy to a circular economy and to a lower carbon footprint, Avient is proud to be a part of the solution.
