CVS Caremark Corporation (CVS)

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

CVS Caremark 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 Caremark 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. These business imperatives are created and refined by the executive officers. They are then presented to the full Board and discussed in detail, with supporting information relating to the financial and operational impact of each imperative. The imperatives as approved by the Board are then cascaded through the Company via the corporate performance management and goal-setting processes. Departmental, team and individual goals are established to demonstrate clear correspondence to one or more of the imperatives. Additionally, CVS Caremark has articulated clearly defined corporate values that describe accountabilities to customers and colleagues and set expectations for returns to shareholders and communities. Team and individual goals make specific reference to these values and how they are to manifest themselves throughout the Company in the execution of both strategic and operational objectives.
