RICS publishes Q2 2024 Global Performance Report

14 August 2024

The latest Quarterly Global Performance report is now live and ready to download.

RICS’ Global Quarterly Performance reports are intended to give professionals, interested stakeholders, governing council and employees a high-level overview of the organisation’s operational performance every three months. They are an important element of our commitment to transparency, supplementing annual opportunities to hear about RICS’ performance including the Annual Review and AGM.

The Q2 report covers RICS’ performance from April to June 2024. It highlights our continued progress towards strategic objectives, developments on standards, thought leadership, membership and corporate performance.

During the second quarter of 2024, RICS’ position as an industry leader and standard setter was confirmed in May when King Charles III agreed that royal patronage of RICS would continue.

In the same month, we completed recruitment of a permanent Standards and Regulation Board (SRB). The five RICS and five independent members were selected from almost 300 high-quality applications. They are now working with SRB Chair Nigel Clarke on our programme to strengthen the public’s trust in our profession.

This quarter, we also saw an increased number of applications for both RICS Governing Council and Senior Vice President driven by improved member engagement. Both appointment process will complete later this year.

Member Engagement activity

We continue to make significant strides in enhancing member value and engagement. As we proceed with the implementation of our strategic initiatives, we remain attentive to member feedback and committed to maintaining high standards of service to our members.

Member engagement roundup:

3,514 members attended 80 face-to-face networking events in 33 countries
1,977 members joined 1 global and 9 regional conferences
1,427 members attended 18 free CPD member engagement webinars

UK: A particular highlight this quarter has been a series of ‘Shaping the future’ member engagement events in the UK. These provided an opportunity for members to influence our future direction.

APAC: The Governing Council is prioritising support for the next generation and early career professionals with Matrics networks expanded to South Asia, Greater China and Southeast Asia and Australia markets.

Europe: Following the successful launch of Matrics in Italia, in June 2024 we kicked off events and activities for the next generation in Rome. The ambitious programme aims to strengthen this new community and set high standards.

MEA: Matrics UAE held its first event in May, engaging members and industry professionals.

Americas: At the NYU-RICS Americas Conference on 8 May 2024, we announced and celebrated this year’s successful teams and individuals of the Americas Awards.

Between May and June 2024 we ran the biannual members’ survey, Survey of the profession. You can view highlights from the survey alongside the Q4 report here.
