Corporate Governance

We Take Integrity Seriously: A CIGNA Corporate Value

CIGNA takes integrity very seriously. In fact, that is why integrity is one of the company's six corporate values. When it comes to CIGNA corporate governance and corporate ethics, there are a few things you might want to know:

  • Board Independence — All but one director, David M. Cordani, President and Chief Executive Officer, on CIGNA Corporation's Board of Directors are independent, non-employee directors. Additionally, only independent directors serve on the Audit Committee, Finance Committee, Corporate Governance Committee and People Resources Committee, which oversees executive compensation.
  • Direct Communication with the Board of Directors — Shareholders or other interested parties may contact an individual director, one or more of the Committee Chairs (who preside in executive sessions without management), or all of the non-employee directors using the following address:
    • CIGNA Corporation
    Director Access Address
    Office of the Corporate Secretary
    Two Liberty Place, TL17A
    1601 Chestnut Street
    Philadelphia, PA 19192
  • Financial Controls — CIGNA's business practices demand strong financial controls, detailed plans and rigorous reviews. Standard operating procedures at CIGNA include regular and appropriate reporting and an internal audit function. The General Auditor meets regularly with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Written complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters may be addressed to:
    • CIGNA Corporation
    General Auditor
    Corporate Audit Department
    Two Liberty Place, TL15D
    1601 Chestnut Street
    Philadelphia, PA 19192

    Communications received will be treated confidentially, and persons may submit complaints anonymously.

  • The Code of Ethics — CIGNA's Code of Ethics has been redesigned as of November 6, 2008 to serve as a stand-alone embodiment of CIGNA's commitment to legal compliance, integrity and ethical conduct. It defines four basic ethical principles that will guide our decisions and our actions everyday: we will comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations; we will avoid conflicts of interest; we will protect CIGNA's assets; and we will behave ethically. The Code is accessible through the link below.

  • Political Contributions — CIGNA seeks to be a meaningful contributor to public policy debates relevant to CIGNA businesses in Washington, D.C. and in state capitols nationwide. It is CIGNA's policy to obey all laws in promoting its positions to government authorities and in making political contributions. CIGNA encourages our employees to participate in the political process as private citizens by registering to vote and staying abreast of the issues. Through CIGNA PAC and limited corporate contributions, we support policymakers at the state and federal levels who believe in market-based solutions to issues of concern to CIGNA businesses.
