Current capital plans include c.£12m for energy efficiency investment in 2025, which are expected to deliver a further 2.6% annualised reduction vs. 2019 base year. We are working to update our Net Zero Carbon Pathway in 2025 to align with the latest guidance from SBTi, CRREM, and the UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard. This will ensure we maintain a credible and robust plan transitioning to net zero carbon aligned with the requirements and expectations of stakeholders and regulations and minimise the risk of asset stranding or value write-downs. It will also inform our overall portfolio management strategy and future capital investment plans. LOOKING FORWARD TO 2025 In 2025, we will build on our Sustainable Construction Framework by actively supporting the UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard pilot, contributing detailed data from all developments at both design and construction stages. We will continue leveraging insights from TM54 energy modelling and operational data from our existing buildings to optimise energy performance in future projects. Collaborating with our supply chain remains a priority as we explore the commercial feasibility and constructability of innovative materials, including electric arc furnace (EAF) steel, high- recycled-content aluminium, and advanced sustainable concrete alternatives beyond GGBS. Additionally, we are conducting comprehensive reuse audits of demolition sites, aiming to establish a pioneering approach to material reuse in construction. These initiatives reflect our commitment to pushing the boundaries of sustainable development and embedding circular economy principles across our portfolio. Building on our successes Throughout 2025 we plan to build on progress made so far on both environmental and social sustainability. THE UNITE GROUP PLC Sustainability Report 2024 “ 2025 will be another exciting year for our transition to net zero carbon, and our ambition to make a real positive impact for our local communities and residents.” JAMES TIERNAN HEAD OF SUSTAINABILITY GOVERNANCE APPROACH PROGRESS SOCIAL IMPACT LOOKING FORWARD APPENDICES 24 GOVERNANCE APPROACH PROGRESS SOCIAL IMPACT APPENDICES LOOKING FORWARD
