Who we are today is a reflection of who we’ve always been:

A team of people who risk, learn and grow together, all in the name of progress.

Then cut to a family at home putting together a puzzle at a dining table.]
Narrator 4:
The ambitious spirit we share is truly a reflection of the differences that unite us, the people who inspire us, the environments around us, (ALT: the customers who motivate us) and the values we live by.

We treat people the way they want to be
treated. We never settle—and always ask
"How can we make this better?"

We celebrate our successes and welcome
disagreement. We are bold with our
aspirations, and thoughtful about our
future.

Narrator 7:
We're a reflection of those who came
before us, champions of those around us,
and role models for those who will come
after us.

beginning of the video writing the word
"Progressive." Cut to Tricia closing the fountain
pen.]
Narrator 8:
Being true to our name is the essence of
our culture, who we are and why we're
here. So wherever you are in the company
it just feels like
Progressive.
