Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors's reported carbon emissions

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) has disclosed its carbon emissions for several years, with data available for 2011, 2012, 2022, 2023, and 2024. The organisation's headquarters are in GB, and its industry is Education services (80). In 2024, RICS reported a total of approximately 937,000 kg CO2e. This figure is comprised of approximately 63,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions, approximately 131,380 kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions, and approximately 741,007 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. The primary Scope 3 category reported is business travel, with an additional 1,720 kg CO2e from waste generated in operations. The most recent data shows a reduction in total emissions compared to previous years. In 2023, total emissions were approximately 1,135,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 65,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 118,506 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 948,600 kg CO2e. Prior to this, in 2022, total emissions were approximately 432,000 kg CO2e, including about 25,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, about 62,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and about 344,100 kg CO2e for Scope 3. Older reported figures include approximately 2,003,000 kg CO2e in 2012 and approximately 1,900,000 kg CO2e in 2011. These earlier reports show higher emissions in Scope 1 and Scope 2, as well as Scope 3 totals, though specific Scope 3 categories were less detailed than in recent years. RICS has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or commitments such as Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) goals or adherence to the Climate Pledge, based on the provided information.
