Cox Conserves: Minimizing Our Footprint

For more than a decade, our sustainability program has been instrumental in driving meaningful progress toward environmental change. With nearly $140 million invested in more than 400 sustainability and conservation projects, we're on track to meet our aggressive Cox Conserves goals: Zero Waste to Landfill by 2024 and becoming carbon and water neutral by 2034.

Cox Conserves

Driving positive environmental change — inside our company and within the communities we serve — is one of the most important things we do.

Cox Conserves, our national sustainability program, was launched in 2007 by Jim Kennedy, Chairman Emeritus and Chairman, James M. Cox Foundation. Since then, we’ve made meaningful progress in our journey to become a more sustainable company through our operations, partnerships and grants to nonprofits.

Cox Conserves’ primary focus areas include energy conservation, water conservation, waste diversion and recycling and community engagement.

Cox Conserves Goals

Zero Waste to Landfill by 2024

  • Achieving this goal involves a holistic approach to waste management that includes three strategies: waste reduction, customer engagement and strategic partnerships for electronic waste.

Carbon and Water Neutral by 2034

  • From small starts like changing light bulbs and adding low-flow water aerators to bigger solutions like developing alternative energy projects and installing rainwater harvest systems, Cox continues to move closer to this goal.
