TEAM COX: Scoring More
Wins for the Environment
The power of Cox employees to advance
environmental stewardship can be found at the
workplace and in their homes, and also on
rivers and coastlines across the United States.
For several years, Team Cox volunteers —
representing a broad cross-section of our
businesses — have been major participants in
river and beach cleanup events from California
to Texas to Florida to New England. Working in
concert with our nonprofit partners, American
Rivers and Ocean Conservancy, they’re
32
delivering wins for the environment by
demonstrating their passion for clean waterways
and healthy terrestrial and sea life. In 2017 alone,
we conducted 11 volunteer river and ocean
cleanups with 1,100 Team Cox volunteers
collecting nearly 16,000 pounds of trash. In 2018,
we conducted nine volunteer river and ocean
cleanups during which 741 Team Cox volunteers
collected nearly 10,000 pounds of trash.
