Diversity & inclusion at Progressive

Being Progressive means moving forward, promoting change, and constantly improving. We're true to our name, and we've created a culture where our people can be true to who they are.

Diversity and inclusion in action

We see D&I reflected in our Core Values of Integrity and the Golden Rule, and we show it in the way we treat each other, our customers, and our communities. Our diversity enables us to understand and anticipate the needs of our customers, and inclusion ensures that we leverage the ideas and efforts of all Progressive people.

Since the early 2000s, we've had an intentional focus on diversity and inclusion and an appreciation of the critical role it plays in our success. Like everything at Progressive, we continue to grow and evolve.

We're currently focused on four primary objectives, which have been in place for several years. New in the past year is an ambitious goal to double the representation of people of color in senior leadership by the end of 2025.

• We maintain a fair and inclusive work environment. At Progressive, we're committed to creating an environment where our people feel welcomed, valued, and respected.
• We reflect the customers we serve. To serve our customers, we must understand them. We seek to be diverse in our employee demographics, experiences, and perspectives.
• Our leadership reflects the people they lead. Our goal is for our leaders to represent the people they lead, and we aspire to double the representation of people of color in senior leadership by the end of 2025.
• We contribute to our communities. We'll use Progressive's resources to support meaningful change in pursuit of equality.

Progressive's Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)

More than a decade after their founding, our ERGs have grown to become a powerful force within our company. Each ERG represents a unique community — providing opportunities for personal and professional support for the more than 18,000 members.

• Asian American Network
• Disabilities Awareness Network
• Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Plus Network
• Military Network
• Network for Empowering Women
• Parent Connection
• Progressive African American Network
• Progressive Latin American Networking Association
• Young Professionals Network

These groups also serve as a resource to our business and strengthen our culture. Our people who participate in an ERG are more engaged, more likely to apply for a promotion, and more likely to stay with Progressive.

Our workplace

At Progressive, we're committed to creating an environment where our people feel welcomed, valued, and respected. Over the years, we've been honored to receive many awards for being a company that values diversity and inclusion.

Each year, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission requires us to submit an EEO-1 Report. While we don't use the EEO-1 Report to measure progress, we're making our current report publicly available.

Equal pay

We're proud to report that for Progressive employees with similar performance, experience, and job responsibilities, women earn one dollar for every dollar earned by men, and people of color earn one dollar for every dollar earned by their white coworkers.*

We recognize that our commitment to pay equity requires our constant attention, and we take regular steps to ensure that our people's compensation reflects their performance, experience, and job responsibilities, and nothing else. We'll report our pay equity measures annually.

*In evaluating pay equity companywide, we use a regression model that considers the following components of compensation: annual salary, bonus (Gainsharing) and stock awards. These are point-in-time measures (as of January 2021) that include all Progressive employees other than our CEO and the C-level executives whose compensation is approved by the Board's Compensation Committee.
