We have decided to hold the Annual Meeting virtually because doing so enables greater shareholder
attendance and participation from any location around the world, and reduces the cost and
environmental impact of the Annual Meeting.
As of December 31, 2022, Avient employed approximately 9,700 people, 34% of which were located in the
U.S. and Canada, 35% were located in Europe, Middle East, and Africa, 24% were located in Asia, and 7%
were located in Latin America.
Last year, employees in over 40 countries, and more
than 130 locations participated, providing actionable feedback to support our ongoing employee
engagement efforts.
