THE UNITE GROUP PLC | Sustainability Report 2025 38 Appendix 2 EPRA Sustainability Performance Measures – Environment EPRA SBPR PERFORMANCE MEASURE Data FY2025 reporting commentary Third party assurance Fuels-Abs: Total fuel consumption Overall total 2025 55,332 MWh/yr 100% of this fuel use is non-renewable and is grid supplied natural gas. 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 entirety of 2024 and 2025 as per EPRA sBPR guidance. Reported data is predominantly actual-metered consumption, and further details are set out in this report. Gas consumption reduced by 3.7% in like for like terms (6.7% in absolute terms) due to deployment of air-source heat pumps to replace gas boilers, as well a focus on improving plant room efficiency and controls where gas boilers remain, as well as some changes in occupancy. 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 Operational properties (PBSA) 2025 53,078 MWh/yr Operational properties (BTR) 2025 2,241 MWh/yr Head offices 2025 13 MWh/yr Fuels-LfL: Like-for-like total fuel consumption Overall total 2024 55,984 MWh/yr 2025 53,889 MWh/yr Operational properties (PBSA) 2024 54,025 MWh/yr 2025 51,648 MWh/yr Operational properties (BTR) 2024 1,959 MWh/yr 2025 2,241 MWh/yr Head offices 2024 Both offices moved in year so like for like comparison not possible 2025 Energy-Int: Building energy intensity Operational properties (PBSA) 2025 2,960 kWh/bed/yr Sum total of electricity + district heat + natural gas consumption divided by floor area for PBSA, (pro rata treatment of acquisitions/ openings/ disposals). BTR intensity cannot be calculated as residents purchase their own electricity directly so no data is available.

Includes all emissions across the whole Unite Students portfolio including tenant energy use, heating for BTR and office heating. Further details of emissions can be found in Appendix 1 of this report. Emissions fell by 5.9% vs prior year driven by a reduction in gas use following deployment of air-source heat pumps, improved gas boiler, CHP and BMS controls, and disposal of assets in year.
