THE UNITE GROUP PLC | Sustainability Report 2025 41 Appendix 2 EPRA Sustainability Performance Measures – Environment EPRA SBPR PERFORMANCE MEASURE Data FY2025 reporting commentary Third party assurance Waste-Abs: Total weight of waste by disposal route Overall total Anaerobic digestion 121.3 tonnes/yr (42.2%) This data is for commercial waste generated by our management, maintenance and housekeeping activities. Student resident generated domestic waste is disposed of separately, either collected by the local authority municipal waste collection or by a local waste contractor, meaning we have less or no control or visibility over it. During 2025 we switched from 3 regional waste management partners to one single waste management partner for all commercial waste across our properties. For the first time this provides consistent data which we will use to establish a baseline and set targets. We also implemented new in-flat recycling arrangements across all properties to align with new UK Simpler Recycling requirements including dry mixed recycling, general waste and, where contractors collect it, food waste. Our sites typically produce domestic-like waste from basic property management, housekeeping and day to day maintenance activity, and there are no major sources of hazardous waste. This is generally limited to e.g. batteries, WEEE (electrical appliances), and fluorescent tubes. Due to the changes in arrangement (different waste streams and data boundaries) from 2024 to 2025, a like-for-like comparison is not possible in this reporting period, but we hope to be able to report this in future. These changes also mean it is not possible to compare data previously reported for 2024 with 2025. Waste data is not independently verified or assured during the reporting period, this is due to significant changes to our waste management practices including the mobilisation of a new single waste management contractor. In addition as some of our sites are served by local authority municipal collections rather than paid-for collections, we do not received full data on waste quantities or recycling rates for all sites. We are working to improve data quality and coverage through 2026.
