RICS established the Responsible Leaders Forum to guide the property sector's role as a global responsible business leader.

The forum explores how a business and its service providers should act to give social value and navigate its way through the turbulent ESG challenges that manifest themselves today and into the future.

The first UK report helps us understand the need for setting an approach that integrates responsible business leadership in the property sector, and what it looks like from a UK perspective.

We have been working in partnership with Acclaro Advisory, and appointed managing director, Sunil Shah as the Chair of our forum, while establishing collaborations with UKGBC, Arup, Business Services Association and other stakeholders to capture insight and identify solutions required for a responsible business to operate property assets. This work aims to influence the corporate culture, operational level and interaction with the supply chain to ensure the long-term sustainability of the built environment.

We are calling on strategic thinkers and decision makers across the supply chain who have a desire to embed responsible corporate values in their business, to join the conversation. Together we can deal with challenges and look to shape clear solutions and drive responsible business leadership.

To get involved in these discussions and join the Forum please contact Ana Bajri, Property Standards Project Manager, RICS.
