CVS Caremark has a long-standing commitment to sound corporate governance. Our record is reflected through industry rankings such as RiskMetrics Corporate Governance Quotient where we outranked more than 69 percent of all companies on the S&P 500 and over 90 percent of all companies within our industry group as of March 2009. We believe our ranking reflects the emphasis we place on being responsive, accountable and transparent to our stockholders and operating in full compliance with laws and regulations.
We recently refined our Vision, Mission and Values to more clearly reflect who we are as a company and how we conduct business. As stated in our Values, we are firmly committed to acting with integrity and holding each other accountable for all aspects of our performance.
