Target Definitions
Targets in this Performance Summary are:
Based on The Walt Disney Company’s fiscal
year.
Our fiscal year begins in October and ends in September.
When a target says “By 2016,” we mean by the end of the
fiscal year 2016.
Dynamic and subject to updates or changes.
Setting goals and targets is not a static process. We will
continue to evaluate the viability and utility of these targets.
We are open to creating new targets, as well as adjusting
ones that might not be aligned with the citizenship impacts of
Disney.
Both aspirational and achievable.
Some of these targets represent our “stretch” aspirations. At
times, despite our efforts, marketplace and other conditions
may impact our ability to meet these goals.
Timebound and forward-looking.
This performance summary contains forward-looking targets
and goals. We believe target setting to be a useful discipline;
it is a routine part of how we manage our citizenship strategy.
The targets are subject to uncertainty; their completion is not
guaranteed. They may also be adjusted as business priorities
and external factors evolve.
Cumulative versus annual.
Unless otherwise stated, target numbers are cumulative from
the beginning of the fiscal year to end of the fiscal year stated
in the target.
