Supplier inclusion & programming

At Cox, our commitment to inclusion extends to the way we work with suppliers. Our supplier programming is about creating opportunities for small businesses to thrive and contribute to our success, ensuring our supply chain reflects the creativity, expertise, and innovation needed to move our business forward. These partnerships empower businesses that make a meaningful impact, driving economic growth and opportunity where it’s needed most.

Supplier inclusion means:

Deliberate engagement

Networking with businesses that bring a wide range of capabilities to ensure they have opportunities to work with us.

Opportunity access

Developing practices and systems to connect qualified suppliers with our procurement infrastructure.

Quality-driven partnerships

Selecting suppliers who meet our high standards for innovation, quality, and customer service.

    This ensures our partnerships are built on merit and shared values. Supplier inclusion aligns with our broader mission to “Empower People Today to Build a Better Future for the Next Generation.”

    By fostering supplier inclusion, we strengthen our operations, bring fresh ideas into our business, and help create opportunities that drive meaningful, lasting impact.
