At Cox Business, sustainability is more than a goal—it’s a commitment. Through significant investments in green technology and environmentally responsible practices, we strive to operate efficiently while supporting our customers’ sustainability initiatives. For more than a decade, our efforts have been guided by Cox Enterprises’ Cox Conserves program and Cox Business’ ongoing support of customer sustainability initiatives, reinforcing our dedication to a greener future.
Cox Invests in Sustainability Through Cox Conserves
The Cox Conserves sustainability program has been instrumental in driving meaningful progress toward environmental change. Our commitment is to leave the planet better for future generations by conserving natural resources, minimizing our environmental footprint, motivating employees to take eco-friendly actions and engaging with local environmental initiatives.
We’ve invested $165 million in more than 500 sustainability and conservation projects. And we’re pleased to report that we’ve just achieved our first sustainability goal: to be Zero Waste to Landfill by 2024. Cox is the first U.S.-based enterprise service company to be verified by GreenCircle Certified as achieving a 92 percent waste diversion rate, meeting Zero Waste USA’s definition of a zero-waste business.
We partner with national environmental groups and actively support local environmental organizations across the country. Additionally, we strive to think globally with local clean energy projects, including our solar fields in Southern Nevada, which produce power and reduce carbons being released into the environment, and our electronics recycling program in Arizona, which keeps tons of material out of landfills while also providing a funding mechanism for our communities.
Cox Business Promotes Sustainability Through Nano Chatbot
Cox Business is committed to supporting customer sustainability initiatives leveraging complex technologies and innovative solutions. This commitment was key in working with 2Cimple Inc., helping to advance sustainability efforts.
2Cimple operates within the software industry, specializing in climate tech through its inventive product, Nano. Nano is the first AI-gamified sustainability platform that enables companies to achieve their Net Zero commitments by reducing Scope 1–3 CO2 emissions through player engagement. The platform motivates players—employees, customers and suppliers—to complete bite-sized sustainability tasks aimed at creating cost savings and reducing carbon footprint.
Looking to increase engagement among players, 2Cimple partnered with RapidScale, a Cox Business company and an AWS Premier Partner with experience in developing generative AI solutions. The collaboration between 2Cimple and RapidScale resulted in successfully developing and deploying the Nano sustainability chatbot, which significantly enhanced player engagement and education on sustainability practices. We deployed the chatbot over several key phases, including an initial assessment, advanced technology integrations with Amazon Bedrock and SageMaker, user testing and full deployment of the Nano platform itself.
