About the panel moderator: Rosemary Sainty
From 2008 Rosemary Sainty established the National Responsible Business Practice Project funded by the Australian Federal Government (through Treasury), based at St James Ethics Centre, building a world first 'HUB' of international initiatives and local resources. These included the Australian focal points for the UN Global Compact, the world's largest corporate citizenship initiative, and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the most widely used sustainability reporting framework.The Project received endorsement from the Federal Treasurer, Business Council of Australia and HRH the Prince of Wales. As the elected Secretariat, Rosemary then grew the UN Global Compact Australian Network to become the strongest corporate citizenship movement in Australia, incorporating leading Australian businesses across banking and finance, extractives, retail and professional services. Rosemary has recently completed a PhD at UTS Business School. Her doctoral research examined corporate sustainability and responsibility leadership at board level. She is teaching across a number of Business School undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Rosemary has published research articles and resources and spoken widely on corporate responsibility and business ethics, both locally and internationally.
