Cox Mexico receives award for sustainable community volunteer programs

Cox Mexico, a global energy and water infrastructure company, has been awarded the Silver Recognition for Best Practices in Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Madrid, Spain. The award was presented by the Ibero-American General Secretariat (SEGIB), in conjunction with Fundibeq and the Ibero-American Business Council, during the XVI Ibero-American Business Meeting.

The company’s Corporate Volunteer Program has operated for 15 years, evolving from annual events into a permanent social action initiative. To date, the program has involved approximately 21,000 employees and their families, maintaining a presence in 12 Mexican states and partnering with 377 civil society organizations. These efforts have reportedly benefited more than 4.3 million people through projects focused on environmental conservation, education, health, and support for vulnerable groups.

Paola Martínez Castro, Director of Communication, CSR, and Foundation for Cox Mexico, noted that the projects prioritize long-term sustainability and local community involvement. Recent ecological efforts include a reforestation campaign that planted 12,000 trees across six entities. Following the integration of assets in Mexico earlier this year, the company plans to continue its social investment and expand its qualitative measurement indicators to optimize support in priority areas.
