Can Circularity Future-Proof the High Street? Sussan Group's Rebecca Hard on What it Takes to Make Transformational Change

C-Suite buy-in is a critical success factor for any organisation determined to make transformational change, and circularity is no exception. For our final bonus episode, we're exploring the importance of leadership in driving responsible business, and asking big questions about backing bold strategy. Host Clare Press sits down with Rebecca Hard, who since 2020 has been Group Retail Chief Executive Officer at The Sussan Group, which includes the much-loved high street womenswear brands Sussan, Sportsgirl and Suzanne Grae.  Having been with the business for 25 years, Rebecca has a long term view on the future of the Australian clothing sector. She passionately believes that customers looking for more affordable clothing options deserve brands that consider ethics and circularity too. To prove it, The Sussan Group recently achieved B Corp status, and Rebecca brought all three group brands on board as Seamless foundation members. We asked her about her own drivers and priorities, and about how her teams have responded. How do they communicate their purpose to their customers? And what has she learned about the power of transformational change, balancing profit with positive impact, and the importance of fostering strong collaborative relationships? It's an open, honest conversation that's sure to inspire.For more info and to follow our journey visit, seamlessaustralia.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
