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

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