TOUGH ENOUGH TO PROTECT THE POWER GRID MODULAR BALLISTIC PROTECTION MADE POSSIBLE WITH COMPOSITES THE CHALLENGE Recent attacks on U.S. electrical substations across the country provide stark reminders that our nation’s power supply remains a primary target for criminals focused on harming our country and security.1 The call to action is evident: we must continually improve the physical and technological infrastructure protection of our nation’s energy supply. Avient and Southern States worked together to develop a modular design using GlasArmor ballistic panels.

Avient has developed a comprehensive program for implementing this Policy through appropriate guidance, training, investigation and oversight. These types of corrupt business activities apply to anyone we do or would like to do business with. Working with Agents, Distributors and Other Third Parties Avient from time to time may use an agent, distributor, consultant or other intermediary to support its business activities, or may participate with business partners in a joint venture or other business structure.

The success and growth of our business depend in large part on our ability to attract, develop and retain a diverse population of talented and high-performing employees at all levels of our organization. In 2021, Avient proudly joined the United Nations Global Compact, a voluntary leadership platform for the development, implementation and disclosure of responsible business practices. We consider diversity to include differences in race, gender, national origin, ethnicity, nationality, and sexual orientation, as well as differences in viewpoint, background, experience and skills.
