THE UNITE GROUP PLC | Sustainability Report 2025 37 Appendix 2 EPRA Sustainability Performance Measures – Environment EPRA SBPR PERFORMANCE MEASURE Data FY2025 reporting commentary Third party assurance DH&C-Abs: Total district heating & cooling consumption Overall total 2025 13,085 MWh/yr Includes all district heat supplied energy consumed across the portfolio including that used by tenants. Heat is provided by 3rd parties outside of our operational control, and due to legacy contractual arrangements and a lack of engagement from suppliers, we have no data as to the energy source and so assume 100% is from non-renewable sources (e.g. gas CHP) which are outside of our operational control. No nuclear power element. Reported data includes 100% of energy consumed across assets either owned or under operational control including all tenant energy use, landlord areas and head office use. Like-for-like uses the same data set but considers only properties in operation for the entirety of 2024 and 2025 as per EPRA sBPR guidance. Reported data is predominantly billed consumption, and further details are set out on in this report. District heat consumption increased due to demand and legacy supply contracts that make it very difficult to reduce consumption due to take or pay clauses as well as technical challenges. A significant increase in district heat consumption is linked to operational challenges in improving and maintaining district heat, legacy commercial terms that make efficiency improvements financially prohibitive, and a lack of control of aspects such as overall system efficiency. Energy consumption data including absolute consumption, year on year change and intensity, are externally verified by SGS to a reasonable level in line with ISO 14064-3:2019 and externally assured to a limited level of assurance in line with ISAE 3000 (Revised) by SGS.
