Getting the fashion industry back on track - Ainsley Simpson CEO Seamless
Ainsley Simpson is the CEO of Seamless, Australia's first clothing product stewardship scheme, which has the mission to create a circular clothing economy in Australia by 2030. Sustainable planning and management has been central to her career in public and private sector roles, and she holds an MBA and post-graduate degree in science. Prior to joining Seamless, Ainsley led the Infrastructure Sustainability Council, another purpose-led not-for-profit, with responsibility for creating a globally recognised ESG performance benchmark for infrastructure across Australia and New Zealand. An advocate for the UN-SDGs and champion for climate action, she has led multiple industry partnerships for a resilient, inclusive transition. Ainsley is passionate about people, nature and power tools – and an ally to women with leadership aspirations. To connect with Ainsley: What is Seamless? Seamless is Australia's clothing product stewardship scheme. A stewardship approach recognises that the fashion and clothing brands who place clothes on the market are responsible for the entire life of that garment. Seamless will enable the industry to do what no single organisation can do alone, which is to transform how we choose, enjoy and recycle clothing in Australia. It aims to make Australian fashion and clothing truly circular by 2030, and significantly reduce the 200,000 tonnes of clothing that currently goes to Australian landfill each year.
