Chats for the Goals: Careers in Sustainability

Are you interested in working in sustainability and curious about the different career paths you could explore? We’ve assembled an exciting panel of UTS graduates now working in areas from consulting to research. More details to come.

Leading the discussion will be UTS Business School academic, Rosemary Sainty, who is the founding Australian Representative to the UN Global Compact – the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative. 

About the panel moderator 

Dr Rosemary Sainty, Senior Lecturer, UTS Business School

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.

This event is part of UTS Global Goals Month 2025, and is presented by UTS Sustainability, UTS BUILD and UTS Careers. Explore more of the Global Goals Month program here.
