Acceleration

As Progressive continues to gain market share and grow its customer base, we intend to use that momentum to achieve our stated vision. Consistent with Newton’s first law of motion, that a body in motion tends to stay in motion, we intend to harness that energy to both grow the business and strengthen our incredible culture. When we create an outstanding work environment by living our Core Values, we believe that culture extends to how our customers perceive us and ultimately how long they choose to stay. The acceleration of our company growth and the growth of our unique culture led us to the theme for this year’s report. Artist Heather McGill considers her work to be an accelerator by which visual patterns are strengthened by their evolving and repeated use. Using everyday materials, such as colored plastic, thread, and lace fabric stencils, McGill reveals an extraordinary vocabulary of patterns based in ordinary origins. Spiral forms, segments, and growth structures complement these patterns, reflecting the natural language of acceleration. A selection of McGill’s work will join Progressive’s growing collection of contemporary art.
