Sustainability at RICS - managing change in a changing world

The earth's capacity is finite. Unsustainable land-use practices, buildings and construction coupled with an ever-growing population are responsible for the depletion of natural resources and loss of biodiversity and habitat.

At global, national and local level RICS and its members are committed to creating and maintaining a healthy environment not only for today but also for future generations by adhering to the following principles:

Protection of the environment through the preservation of natural capital
Promotion of social justice by ensuring access to services for the benefit of all
Support of a healthy local economy, including high levels of employment
