Membership and Compliance with RICS Standards

Both Diederik (Partner Asset Management) and Pieter Bas (Managing Partner) are members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). As such, they are bound by the following:

• RICS Code of Conduct

• RICS Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy

These professional standards reinforce our commitment to honesty, integrity, and transparency in everything we do, including identifying and managing potential conflicts of interest or other integrity risks.

Core Principles of the RICS Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy

1. Zero-tolerance policy
RICS maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy regarding bribery and corruption. Members and regulated firms are prohibited from directly or indirectly offering, soliciting, promising, or accepting bribes.

2. Active prevention
Members are required to take appropriate measures to prevent bribery. This includes conducting risk assessments, maintaining internal controls, and providing relevant training to staff.

3. Openness and transparency
All business relationships and payments must be transparent and verifiable. Payments to third parties must always be justified and properly documented.

4. Gifts and hospitality
Gifts or invitations must never be used to exert improper influence. They must be proportionate, customary within the sector, and—if necessary—publicly documented.

5. Reporting suspicions
Members are encouraged to report any suspicions of bribery or corruption immediately—internally, to the appropriate authorities, or directly to RICS.

6. Consequences of non-compliance
Violations of these rules may result in disciplinary action, including loss of RICS membership.
