The company aims to empower 34 million people to live more prosperous lives by 2034, a goal known as "34 by 34." The company is making significant strides toward this objective through initiatives like the partnership with Keep America Beautiful. 

"This award truly belongs to our volunteers,” said Maury Wolfe, vice president of Corporate Responsibility & Social Impact at Cox Enterprises. “By keeping waste out of landfills, greenways and rivers, our employees are taking action to address real environmental challenges. They continue to inspire me and many others to pursue our ambitious 34 by 34 goal."
