IKEA Statement on joining the Amicus Brief:
At IKEA, we believe that a better everyday life starts with equal rights for all. We are a home furnishing company, but at our core we are about people. Our IKEA values clearly tell us that leadership is taking action and standing up for what we believe in. When we say we want to create a better everyday life for the many people, it’s not just the people who work for us and our customers – it is society.
We are proud to stand with the many companies and LGBT+ allies on this important issue, and we hope the Supreme Court will rule favorably on this protection.

IKEA Retail U.S. President
