Level of Assurance and Qualifications:
• Limited
• This verification used a materiality threshold of ±5% for aggregate errors in sampled data for each of the
above indicators
GHG Verification Methodology:
Evidence-gathering procedures included, but were not limited to:
• Interviews with relevant personnel of Avient and their consultant;
• Review of documentary evidence produced by Avient;
• Review of Avient data and information systems and methodology for collection, aggregation, analysis and
review of information used to determine GHG emissions; and
• Audit of sample of data used by Avient to determine GHG emissions.
Page 3
Verification Opinion:
Based on the verification process and procedures conducted to a limited assurance level of the GHG emissions
statement shown above, Apex found no evidence that the GHG emissions statement:
• is not materially correct and is not a fair representation of the GHG emissions data and information; and
• has not been prepared in accordance with the WRI/WBCSD GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and
Reporting Standard (Scope 1 and 2), and WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Value Chain
Accounting and Reporting Standard (Scope 3).

Compliance to IEC 60695 part 2-11 for the end product and parts 2-12 and 2-13 for materials is required in
Europe—and increasingly in other regions—for certain electrical and electronic applications.
In order to have a concentrate recognized by UL,
the following conditions must be met:
• the color concentrate producer must be
recognized by UL
• the polymer, generic or specific, must be
recognized as well
• the recognition of the material combination
(base resin + color concentrate) must be listed
in the QMSQ2 file of the concentrate producer
• the specification limits set in the QMQS2 file
must be respected if the UL 94 recognition is to
apply to the final plastic part
Avient has a wide range of color and cost options
available to provide maximum flexibility.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
