Avient 可持续发展副总裁致辞
At Avient, sustainability is an integral part of who we are as a company. Our sustainability strategy—People, Products, Planet, Performance—is essential to achieving our mission and vision, and our associates are actively engaged and passionate about driving our strategy forward. As the global need for sustainability accelerates, we are ready to meet the challenge. We are focused on developing innovative products that solve our customers’ performance and sustainability challenges, while reducing the environmental impact of our operations.
A few years ago, we established ambitious 2030 sustainability targets related to climate change, waste, product innovation, and supplier engagement, as well as a goal to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. With the unwavering dedication and enthusiasm of our global associates, we continue to make significant progress in achieving these goals. We invite you to read this year’s Sustainability Report, which showcases our commitment to sustainability, and also offers insights into our culture of sustainability we are so proud of at Avient.
