THE UNITE GROUP PLC | Sustainability Report 2025 3 Foreword by Joe Lister, CEO, Unite Students Sustainability is at the heart of what we do, with environmental and social considerations embedded in our decision making. We continue to make progress towards our sustainability ambitions and have set new 2030 targets to provide renewed focus. On top of our support to the Unite Foundation, this year we also funded over 60 additional one-year free tenancies for care leavers and estranged students. This means we've helped more care leavers and estranged students to find a secure home at university than ever before. We invested over £5 million in energy and carbon reduction across our estate in 2025 and achieved our lowest ever embodied carbon for a new building at Avon Point in Bristol. We were particularly pleased to see our efforts on climate disclosure recognised in 2025. We achieved a place on CDP's A-list, placing us in the top 4% of companies that CDP score. In many respects, 2025 has been a challenging year for the business, with a more competitive operating environment and continued geopolitical uncertainty. Despite this, we remain committed to delivering on our sustainability ambition of creating a positive impact – investing in the future of young people, building stronger communities, and tackling climate change.
