Sustainability is one of the five pillars on which Proger has built its development strategy. Alongside economic growth, the company brings an active and responsible contribution to the social and environmental progress of the territories where it operates. In this sense, sustainability is a strategic lever, one that shapes how the company innovates, competes and makes its business more resilient over the long term.

Every company leaves a footprint.
The difference is not whether to leave one.
The difference is choosing which.

The goal is to nurture a widespread culture of sustainability, one that grows from dialogue with local communities, from the development of skills, from the transfer of knowledge and from building relationships that create value over time.

The 2025 Report stands out for a renewed editorial approach that reflects Proger’s many-sided character and its engagement with the world of art and culture: the cover and illustrations were entrusted to the young artist Anna Crespi, and each chapter carries contributions signed by the Company’s leading figures.

The key to reading the entire document is the Letter to Stakeholders by Chief Executive Officer Marco Lombardi, who frames Proger’s mission through the concept of Adaptation to a New World in constant transformation.

Dear Stakeholders,
if the twentieth century was the century of growth and specialisation, the twenty-first will be the century of Resilience.

We live in a time when change is no longer an exceptional event, but the new normal. The energy transition, climate change, the growing complexity of infrastructure, geopolitical shifts, the digital revolution and the rise of artificial intelligence are reshaping the context in which businesses, institutions and communities operate.

In this Ever-Changing World, the real challenge lies not only in changing, but in knowing how to adapt. Not only in reacting, but in anticipating. Not only in repairing, but in preventing.

For over seventy years we have designed infrastructure, systems and territories. Today we feel an even greater responsibility: to help build Resilience.

At Proger we believe that Sustainability itself, in its most authentic sense, is also the capacity of companies to face uncertainty, adapt to change and keep generating value for people and for future generations.

2025 was a pivotal year for Proger. It was the year we redefined our Vision.

The year we identified in Adaptation the only real strategy for coming into tune with the Ever-Changing World, without stubbornly and pointlessly fighting to make everything return to how it was.

Adapting does not mean surrendering. It means learning to live while everything changes, to live in harmony by reading the signals the Ever-Changing World sends us.

Against this backdrop, we chose to interpret Engineering from a new perspective. An engineering of Adaptation. An engineering that does not stop at delivering works, but sets out to make infrastructure, cities, energy systems and communities more resilient, integrating knowledge, innovation, technology and responsibility.

At Proger we are convinced that Sustainability does not mean only reducing impacts, but above all increasing our societies’ capacity to adapt to the great changes of our time.

The artificial intelligence revolution is one of the greatest opportunities of our century. Proger has chosen to meet it with a clear vision: to promote a conscious, ethical and responsible use of new technologies, placing them at the service of people and security.

For us, AI is not an end but a tool. A tool that, combined with human experience and skill, can amplify the capacity to know, understand and decide. This is why we chose to invest in the digital and cultural growth of our people, as protagonists of a technological transformation guided by awareness and critical thinking.

In an unstable world in constant motion, the New Engineering takes on a strategic role. Technology allows us to analyse a volume of data unimaginable only a few years ago. The use of predictive algorithms has changed the way engineering is done and conceived.

With this in mind, we are developing new skills and solutions dedicated to monitoring critical infrastructure and complex systems, convinced that the true frontier of sustainability lies increasingly in the capacity to anticipate risks and increase resilience.

Monitor to Predict, Predict to Prevent: a principle that captures our vision of the new engineering and stands as a responsibility towards people, territories and future generations.

2025 was also the year we embraced the philosophy of Soft Power, the gentle power of culture, art, science and technique as a driver of growth, development and sustainability. In the Ever-Changing World, culture takes on strategic value. This is why we created the Art & Culture Business Unit, recognising in art, cultural heritage and beauty extraordinary instruments of dialogue and inclusion. We believe the most authentic Italian tradition is the one that, since the Renaissance, has brought together art and science, culture and technology, beauty and ingenuity, economic and cultural growth.
