Country Road | Part 1 - Transforming an iconic Aussie brand into a sustainable fashion leader

Country Road | Part 1 - Transforming an iconic Aussie brand into a sustainable fashion leader

In this absolute must-listen episode, Kiarne talks to Elle Roseby, the Managing Director of Country Road, whose decades-long career has encountered the many changing faces of sustainability in fashion. Elle generously shares how Country Road has embedded sustainability into their DNA by empowering people, embracing traceability, prioritising raw materiality and innovating sustainably in every element of the business.

Elle unpacks the complexities of true traceability and how Country Road works with Oritain to conduct DNA testing, ensuring transparency from material to garment. Hear how Country Road experienced a $2million setback to stay true to their values, and how absolute integrity remains the central ethos of this Australian Giant.

From embracing Australian-made and grown garments and investing in innovation to tackling daily challenges like poly bag waste, Elle is incredibly candid in sharing ideas that will inspire transformation in almost any industry.

Tune in for part one of this inspiring conversation with Elle Roseby, and take lessons from an Aussie icon leading the way. We’ll be back next week with part two.
