THE UNITE GROUP PLC | Sustainability Report 2025 4 Our approach to sustainability For more than a decade, we’ve been focusing on creating a Home for Success and that purpose remains as important today as ever. Our strategic business objectives can only be achieved if we maintain focus on sustainability. Our investors expect us to manage and adapt to the environmental and social issues that pose a significant risk or opportunity, whether it is our commitment to climate transition and energy efficiency, reporting and disclosure, or compliance and fire safety. Access to the finance and investment we need to grow and succeed depends on managing sustainability issues. An environment where colleagues can be themselves, are valued and supported to grow, with a diverse range of people that reflect the communities we work in. This means listening to our colleagues and providing them with the tools, training and opportunities to do their best work, and recognise performance and create an workplace where people really belong. A sustainable place to live, somewhere our residents can call home that helps them to reduce their environmental impact and form lasting responsible living habits. This means investing in our properties to reduce energy and water consumption, improve waste and recycling and cut carbon emissions, while also supporting their wellbeing and providing an environment where they can succeed.
