Country Road | Part 2 - Transforming an iconic Aussie brand into a sustainable fashion leader

from Sustainable Transformation · host Kiarne Treacy

We continue our chat with Elle Roseby, MD at Country Road, and hear some surprising ways that sustainability is being considered in every aspect of business at Country Road as part of their vision to be a world-leading lifestyle brand. From cleverly re-purposing broken stock to building five-star green-star retail stores, Country Road is thinking beyond the garments and innovating at every customer touch-point and all the way through the supply chain. Elle speaks passionately about social impact, including how acknowledging, understanding and supporting First Nations communities is a critical element of their proud Australian heritage, as well as the Climate Fund developed by Country Road to invest in climate solutions in the fashion industry and support grassroots projects. This episode shows that even the most established businesses can revolutionise their organisation by tackling issues one step at a time, prioritising progress over perfection, and being proud of the small wins along the way. You won’t want to miss a single second!
