管理方法：环境、健康和安全
At Avient, a culture of safety is a foundational strength.
At the highest level, Avient’s Board of Directors Innovation & Sustainability Committee oversees and monitors environmental, health, safety, security, and product stewardship standards— including oversight of climate-related risks*.
Avient’s EH&S Management System (EH&S MS) is managed by its Corporate Environmental, Health, Safety and Product Stewardship Department, and by degreed technical experts employed in all regions and businesses. Avient’s Vice President of EH&S and Senior Vice President of Global Operations and Process Improvement are responsible for reporting performance to the EH&S Committee of the Board of Directors.
Our management approach to EH&S is rooted in the American Chemistry Council’s (ACC) Responsible Care® Standard. We established a comprehensive EH&S MS to systemically identify and address any risks, which is externally certified and based on the ACC Responsible Care 14001® Standard. This management system applies to all Avient sites and our contractors globally. In 2025, we introduced a new goal that further emphasizes our commitment to safety and sustainability by expanding that certification to 75% of our facilities by 2030.
Avient’s EH&S MS is comprised of global standards for safety, health, security, product safety, and environmental protection. It addresses every aspect of our operations, including material transportation, site and warehouse activities, product distribution, customer usage, and our ongoing commitment to be a positive influence in the communities where we operate. It covers both regulatory requirements and voluntary actions, and incorporates the principle of continuous improvement.
