RICS, headquartered in Great Britain, reported a total embodied carbon of approximately 9,000 kg CO2e in 2008. This figure reflects the organisation's commitment to understanding and addressing its carbon footprint, although specific emissions data for Scope 1, 2, and 3 are not disclosed. Currently, RICS does not have any publicly stated reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment in line with industry standards. The absence of specific reduction initiatives suggests that RICS may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. As the organisation continues to engage with sustainability practices, it is essential for RICS to establish measurable targets to enhance its climate commitments and contribute to broader industry efforts in reducing carbon emissions.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Rics is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
