Ashley Furniture Industries, LLC (Ashley) has continued its annual tradition of distributing trees to employees at its facilities in North Carolina, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin in celebration of Arbor Day. This year, the company has maintained its commitment by distributing over 6,000 trees, contributing to a total of more than 100,000 trees since the initiative began in 1993.
The tree distribution is part of Ashley's ongoing environmental stewardship efforts, aiming to enhance local ecosystems and provide benefits to communities where Ashley operates. Alongside this, since 2006, Ashley has conducted tree-planting workshops in collaboration with local schools. These workshops educate students on planting techniques and the environmental advantages of trees, offering them practical experience in tree planting.
"Planting trees is not only an investment in our environment, but also in the future of our communities," stated Todd Wanek, President and CEO of Ashley Furniture Industries. "By planting trees, we are preserving natural habitats, improving air quality and creating a greener world for generations to come."
Over the past three decades, Ashley and the Wanek family have invested over $750,000 in tree planting initiatives, emphasizing the critical role of trees in providing environmental benefits and enhancing community spaces.
