The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) has released its 2024 annual review, reporting a year of growth in membership and higher involvement in sustainability.
Membership in the UK passed 100,000 for the first time, with over 7,600 new global enrolments, the highest figure since 2017.
Confidence in RICS members remained strong, with 76% of industry professionals saying they trusted the professionalism and expertise of members.
Satisfaction with RICS leadership on sustainability increased, as 70% of members said they had a positive experience, a 6% increase on 2023.
More than 23,000 members and stakeholders took part in events, consultations and learning programmes during the year, including 500 hybrid events across 50 countries.
Martin Samworth, chair of the RICS board, said: “2024 marked a turning point for rics. We’ve not only grown our global membership but also strengthened how we engage and support professionals.
“That trust is reflected in rising satisfaction levels and greater member-led involvement.”
