Synthetic esters offer numerous benefits over petroleum-derived mineral oils and other synthetic alternatives such as lower pour point, reduced volatility, better viscosity index, higher flash points and improved biodegradability.

Conflict Minerals Process Avient acknowledges some raw materials are obtained from conflict areas. The template also facilitates the identification of new smelters and refiners to potentially undergo an audit via the Responsible Minerals Initiative Conflict–Free Smelter program. It is part of our policy and partnership with our suppliers that they follow the responsibilities and procedure of RMI and are obliged to our Conflict Mineral Policy.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; disruptions or inefficiencies in our supply chain, logistics, or operations; changes in laws and regulations in jurisdictions where we conduct business, including with respect to plastics and climate change; fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; demand for our products and services; production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; information systems failures and cyberattacks; amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; our ability to achieve strategic objectives and successfully integrate acquisitions, including the implementation of a cloud-based enterprise resource planning system, S/4HANA; other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation, geopolitical conflicts, and any recessionary conditions; and other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended

Each officer must: • avoid potential, real, or perceived conflict of interest situations between personal and professional relationships. Should any such conflict of interest situation arise, the officer must report the details of the situation to both the General Counsel and the Chair of the Audit Committee for disposition; • be responsible, to the best of his or her ability, for full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the company files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the company; • maintain compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; • report violations of this code of ethics in accordance with the procedures outlined below; and • be personally responsible for adherence to this Code of Ethics. Reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics Should situations arise that cause a potential conflict of interest for any one of these officers, then the details of the circumstances of the potential conflict of interest must be reported (including self-reporting) immediately to the General Counsel, the Chair of the Audit Committee and the independent auditor.

It includes requirements for child and forced labor, the right to collective bargaining, non-discrimination, employee health and safety, conflict minerals Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) due diligence, and ethical treatment of the environment. Avient has elected to utilize the reporting template provided by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) formerly Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative, which facilitates the transfer of information through the supply chain regarding mineral country of origin as well as smelters and refiners being utilized. It is part of our policy and partnership with our suppliers that they follow the responsibilities and procedure of RMI and are obliged to our Conflict Mineral Policy.
