An opinion piece by Rosie Campo, ICMEC Australia's Head of Corporate Engagement
In her latest op-ed, Rosie Campo, shares powerful insights from the ICMEC Australia Symposium 2025: Convergence, where leaders from government, financial services, technology, law enforcement and the non-profit sector came together with a clear message.
Businesses must take an active role in preventing child sexual exploitation to help combat this crime.
Rosie outlines how offenders are exploiting everyday business systems and why companies cannot wait for regulation to dictate their response. Prevention and disruption must sit at the centre of corporate responsibility, with safeguarding embedded into governance, risk and compliance.
Her reflections from the symposium highlight the enormous potential within business to identify risks earlier, protect children and strengthen the systems that offenders use to cause harm.
This is essential reading for anyone working across the corporate sector.
