Cox Enterprises has a rich 120-year history of building industry-leading businesses that are rooted in the mission to leave the world in a better place for the next generation. To continue to build upon this legacy, Cox Cleantech was formed in 2018 to explore new growth opportunities in clean, resource efficient businesses.
The mission of Cox Cleantech is to design, validate and execute a growth strategy by investing in those companies that operate at the intersection of people, planet and profit. The long-term measure of success for this group is the creation of a multi-billion-dollar revenue platform that can stand alongside our existing lines of business.
The small, but growing team assembled to build Cox Cleantech is high-performing, diverse and agile. We share a passion for our mission and for working as a team to develop creative, fact-based solutions to complex and ambiguous questions. Cox Cleantech offers a truly unique challenge, team and opportunity to grow.
