ISCA appoints Ainsley Simpson as CEO
28 June 2018
ISCA: The Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia (ISCA) Board of Directors has appointed Ainsley Simpson as Chief Executive Officer.
Ainsley has been leading ISCA’s team in her role as Acting CEO and Chief
Operating Officer since March 2018.
Speaking today, ISCA Chair, David Singleton AM, said the Board has been
impressed with Ainsley’s leadership and progress since her appointment
as COO. “Ainsley’s collaborative and empowering leadership style has
been instrumental in shaping our future strategy. We will be building on
the exceptional
sustainability impacts that ISCA has enabled by
partnering with industry; and will continue to champion progressive
outcomes with our growing member base. said David.
Deputy Chair of ISCA, Sarah Marshall, has praised Ainsley’s accessible
and collegial approach to engaging with industry. “We’re not able to
solve industry-wide issues in a siloed approach, we need to engage with
the whole broad base of the built environmental to enable sustainable
solutions. Ainsley has already proven she’s the leader who can bring
ISCA members and stakeholders together to catalyse change,” said Sarah.
Having joined ISCA over two years ago as the business and technical
services lead, Ainsley has been instrumental in the growth of the team
and traction of the Infrastructure Sustainability (IS) rating scheme
across Australia and New Zealand. Since March, the ISCA Board and team
have focussed on developing a new strategy aligning ISCA’s purpose and
impact with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“My priority focus is on enabling an even more empowered infrastructure
value chain that actively drives tangible positive change across the
transport, utility and social infrastructure sectors. Our strategy
ensures that ISCA is a trusted assurance partner across the
infrastructure lifecycle, a reliable data and knowledge source and a
collaborative advocate for leading the emerging culture of
sustainability in infrastructure.
ISCA is already making headway, with the launch of the next evolution of
the IS rating scheme (Version 2.0) which is underway across Australia
and
New Zealand. This milestone signals a shift in sustainability
performance benchmarks, and timely recognition that if you are going to
create virtuous change and make informed investment decision, you have
to start in the planning phase of the lifecycle.
The infrastructure industry is responsible for more than 50% of
Australia’s green-house gas emissions. ISCA enables sustainability in
infrastructure through a third-party rating program, training and
knowledge sharing and creating a community of practice around
sustainable infrastructure. To date, more than $97 billion in
infrastructure projects is engaged in the IS rating scheme across
Australia and New Zealand.
