TAMPA, Fla., March 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ashley HomeStore and Ashley Furniture Industries (Ashley) have long been committed to making a positive impact around the globe and leaving the world a better place for future generations.

- Bringing our communities together and extending gratitude to our U.S. Military and first responders

- Supporting our local communities while contributing to the U.S. economy, making a lasting impact
“Our passion for designing, manufacturing, and selling furniture has propelled us from day one. But it’s bigger than just the products we sell—it’s how we operate and conduct business responsibly. We do this by supporting our communities, protecting our environment, and investing in our corporate culture,” said Todd Wanek, President and CEO, Ashley Furniture Industries. “Now we’re sharing that passion with you through our first Corporate Social Responsibility Report. Our positive impact is felt around the globe, and we want to continue making a difference for the future.”
