Serving Our Communities
Giving Back and Growing the Good
"Do the right thing, always." It's one of our core values. It shapes the way we work together, the way we make business decisions and how we show up in our communities.
At Cox, we are committed to helping shape a better world through responsible company actions, financial support and individual impact. Across our businesses and locations around the world, we're working together to create a brighter future for everyone.
Volunteering for a better future
We love equipping our people to make an impact. In fact, we provide paid volunteer hours to employees and provide ample opportunities for them to gather for group volunteer events.
Whether we're cleaning up a park or helping kids learn about STEM, one thing is for certain: when you see the iconic blue Cox volunteer shirt in your community, you know that good things are happening!
34 By 34
Through this ambitious social impact initiative, we're empowering 34 million people to live more prosperous lives by the year 2034.
Why 34 million? Our teams carefully assessed the societal challenges that Cox is positioned to impact, and we identified that more than 30 million people need support, growth and development opportunities to overcome those obstacles. Now, we're working together to make a difference in six key pathways:
- Technology access
- Access to lifelong education
- Employment skills
- Social equity
- Environmental sustainability
- Good health
Act to Impact Roadshow
To bring our 34 by 34 initiative to life in 2022, we launched our Act to Impact Roadshow. In nine cities across the U.S., nearly 10,000 local Cox employees took part in community projects and provided donations to organizations that support the 34 by 34 goal. Each stop included a half-day, environmentally sustainable employee festival that featured food, fun, games, volunteer opportunities, education about 34 by 34 and more.
