Supplier Programming
Supplier Programming
At Cox, our commitment to inclusion extends to the way we work with suppliers who support our operations. We intentionally provide access and opportunities for businesses of all types to thrive and contribute to our success, ensuring our supply chain reflects the creativity, expertise, and innovation needed to move our business forward.
We are proud of the strong actions we’ve taken over the years—actions that have resulted in Cox spending more than $2.2 billion with suppliers who represent small businesses, HubZones, women, veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, and underserved communities. These partnerships empower businesses that make a meaningful impact, driving economic growth and opportunity where it’s needed most.
The supplier program is led and executed by the strategic sourcing and procurement team within supply chain management. Please visit the Supplier Programming page or email coxsupplierprograms@cox.com with questions.

Willie Chandler
A common theme you’ll hear about Cox is that there is a strong, close family culture. Being that I’m a second-generation employee, I’ve witnessed this culture for close to 30 years. I believe Cox’s commitment to fostering an inclusive and diverse work environment is the backbone of our tight, family culture. Like you’ll find with your own family, Cox also encourages us to embrace the differences, uniqueness, commonalities and experiences everyone brings to the table.

Being one of Empow[HER] women’s ERG Co-Chairs, I see firsthand all of the efforts that Cox is making to ensure that our employees’ voices are heard and valued. Being an ERG member has allowed me the forum to share my life experiences (including struggles) with individuals that can relate with me, and I can get advice from. One way we do this in Empow[HER] is through our Courageous Conversations series. The support and love I have felt in those calls reiterate why I am so grateful to work at this amazing company.

Catherine Mondragon
As a Latina leader, I've been grateful for our company's commitment to ensuring everyone feels valued, respected, and included. It has inspired me to proactively look for opportunities that allow me to champion inclusion, continue learning about other's cultures, and engage in events that drive diversity. Inclusion is not a destination; it's an ongoing learning experience, and I am ready for the journey!
