In 2008, RICS reported total embodied carbon emissions of approximately 9,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure falls under a category not specifically defined by scope, indicating that detailed breakdowns into Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions are not available. Currently, RICS has not established any specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor do they have any emissions data cascaded from a parent or related organization. As such, their climate commitments remain unspecified, and there are no documented initiatives aimed at reducing their carbon footprint. Overall, RICS's approach to carbon emissions and climate commitments appears to be in the early stages, with a need for clearer targets and strategies to address their environmental impact.
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.
