At Cox Automotive, we cultivate an inclusive, equitable and engaging workplace that seeks out and values diverse perspectives to drive innovation and fuel success. Our approach to Inclusion, Diversity & Equity (ID&E) is anchored on four pillars: people, customers, community and suppliers.
We are committed to having a diverse workforce that reflects the communities we serve. We embrace and foster an environment that builds on the unique talents that come from people with a variety of backgrounds and perspectives. We provide our people the opportunity to chart their own career path through learning & development opportunities, internships, mentorship and connecting through diversity councils and employee resource groups (ERGs).
We believe in human rights, justice and empowering our communities through investment, philanthropy, kindness, compassion and inclusion. We support organizations that are affecting change for marginalized groups and champion the progress towards a fair and equitable society. Along with many local partnerships, Cox is proud to have strong relationships with numerous national diversity groups that align with our values.
We invite and encourage the use of qualified minority, women, veteran, disability, and LGBTQ-owned businesses in our companywide purchasing process. We form mutually beneficial partnerships with suppliers who offer high-quality and competitively priced products and services.
