Animal Testing Policy
AVIENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
In the normal course of doing business, Avient is required to conduct testing to ensure the safety of its
products.
Avient is committed to replacing, reducing and refining the use of animal testing by applying the
following practices:
• Replace – Before any vertebrae testing, Avient will investigate the use of alternative methods and
approaches, including use of data that is already publically available, computational toxicology models
and read-across to available data for similar substances
Reduce – Avient will only consider animal testing if it is a legal requirement, or to ensure the safety of our
products, when no suitable alternatives are available.
