Represents a two years long collaboration between RICS and the United Nations Global Compact. Together they identified 15 key issues and 15 actions that are tied to the Ten Principles of the Global Compact - in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption - and created a ?responsible business? roadmap for the land, real estate and construction sectors and its users. The aim is to make responsible business the status quo and encourage companies to think holistically about the environmental and social impact of their business activities, and strategic investment decisions.
