1. Support, communicate and drive achievement of CVS’ business strategies and goals.

CVS has instituted a company-wide performance management and goal-setting process that ensures consistent communication and integration of corporate goals throughout its business planning activities. Each year, CVS initiates a rigorous strategic, financial and operational review to identify and confirm its business objectives for the current year and subsequent three- to five-year period. Business goals, termed “imperatives”, are specifically outlined and prioritized, and relevant performance metrics are assigned and quantified.

Departmental, team and individual goals are established to demonstrate clear correspondence to
