We align our portfolio to
the best locations and
strongest Universities.
Our scale allows us to
deliver value-for-money
to customers, alongside
sector-leading returns.
We delivered a strong operational
performance in 2022, with earnings and
dividends surpassing their pre-pandemic
levels on the back of a return to full occupancy
and improving rental growth.
Under our sustainability strategy, we focus
on making a positive impact through People
and Places. We continue to make progress
on our objective of being a net zero carbon
business by 2030, and have committed 1% of
our annual profits to social initiatives.

The business has had a strong 2022
performance, built on our best-in-class
operating platform and affordable and welllocated portfolio, but ultimately delivered
through the hard work and commitment of our
people serving our customers. This has helped
deliver the strong recovery in our operational
performance with 99% occupancy and our
financial performance, with earnings and
dividends above their pre-pandemic peak.
