Our core values of Collaboration, Innovation and Excellence, and our personal values of Integrity, Honesty
and Respect, are critical to our culture and underpin all that we do.
Avient also offers nomination-based leadership development programs, such as NextGen, Elevate, Engage
and Lean Six Sigma, as well as Core Leadership, an open-enrollment program for leaders around the

The objectives related to the Clariant Color acquisition were
determined by the Committee and included: (1) prioritizing safety as a core element of the
Companyʼs culture as an ACC Responsible Care Company; (2) the successful retention and
engagement of customers; (3) the successful retention and engagement of employees; and (4)
successful capture of cost synergies of $30 million by year end.

These core values, which begin with our individual decisions and
actions, focus our attention on putting the customer first by creating genuine value through collaboration,
innovation and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

strategy with four core components: specialization, globalization, operational
excellence and commercial excellence.
