‘ 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 .’
of Sustainability at RICS explains : “ Together we 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 our sector and its users .
“ We have consulted with companies large , and small , across the sector and across the world . This resource takes a holistic approach in terms of both its scope and its target users . The key areas of the UN Global Compact , and the action items are of universal relevance for decision makers within every company .”
The aim , she says , 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 .
