THE UNITE GROUP PLC | Sustainability Report 2025 39 Appendix 2 EPRA Sustainability Performance Measures – Environment EPRA SBPR PERFORMANCE MEASURE Data FY2025 reporting commentary Third party assurance GHG-Indir-Abs: Total indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (location based Scope 2) Overall total 2025 25,687 metric tonnes CO 2 e/yr Scope 2 location based emissions, calculated in accordance with the GHG protocol using grid electricity consumption data and district heating consumption data and relevant UK DEFRA/DESNZ emissions factor. Includes all emissions across the whole Unite Students portfolio including tenant energy use but not tenant electricity in BTR as this is separately metered and outside our operational control. Further details of emissions can be found in Appendix 1 of this report. Emissions fell by 19.2% vs prior year driven by reduction in energy following deployment of energy efficiency measures, some changes in occupancy patterns, a reduction in UK grid electricity emissions factor, and disposal of assets in year. 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. SGS’s opinion statements can be viewed on our website: www.unitegroup.com/ sustainability/policies- documentation-2 GHG-Indir-Abs: Total indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (market based Scope 2) Overall total 2025 2,409 metric tonnes CO 2 e/yr Scope 2 location based emissions, calculated in accordance with the GHG protocol using supplier’s contractual emissions factor, consumption data and district heating consumption data and relevant UK DEFRA/DESNZ emissions factor. Electricity across the portfolio has zero emission factor as 100% REGO backed. Includes all emissions across the whole Unite Students portfolio including tenant energy use but not tenant electricity in BTR as this is separately metered and purchased by tenants and so is outside our operational control therefore scope 3 category 13. Emissions fell by 0.8% vs. prior year as although significant reductions were achieved in electricity and gas use, district heat consumption increased significantly due to challenges improving controls and elements of district heating schemes hardware and controls being outside of our control due to legacy contractual arrangements and limited financial viability of efficiency improvements.
