COX CONSERVES Progress Toward a Higher Standard More than a decade ago we launched Cox Conserves with a clear vision: to drive positive environmental change inside our organization, among our stakeholders and within the communities we serve. It’s an initiative linked to ambitious goals to improve our operations: Zero Waste to Landfill by 2024 and Carbon and Water Neutral by 2044. Since 2007, Cox Conserves has continued to grow and take us in new directions, including major investments in sustainable technologies in the emerging field of Cleantech. This is a holistic effort to address our planet’s biggest environmental challenges, focused on alternative energy, community investment, employee engagement, energy conservation, waste diversion and recycling, and water conservation.
