Cox Automotive, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Cox Enterprises, Inc.

Cox Automotive, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Cox Enterprises, Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. While there are no documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges from Cox Automotive, it is important to note that emissions data and performance metrics may be cascaded from its parent company, Cox Enterprises, Inc.
