'Green' Living

At true student, sustainability isn’t just talk — it’s something we actively deliver on across our portfolio. 

ECOsmart Certification:
All true student properties are now ECOsmart certified, a recognised third‑party sustainability standard that assesses environmental performance and responsible operations in the built environment. This achievement reflects our commitment to reducing environmental impact, improving energy efficiency, and delivering operational excellence that our guests can trust.

Solar Panels & Renewable Energy:
Several of our buildings are equipped with solar panels, generating renewable energy on‑site and helping to reduce operational carbon emissions — supporting cleaner energy use.

Utopi – Smart ESG Technology:
We also use technology from Utopi, a sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) data platform that helps us monitor and optimise energy performance in real time. Utopi’s sensor‑based system collects live data on energy use, temperature, indoor environment and more, turning this into actionable insights to reduce waste and improve building efficiency. With this data, we can better understand how buildings perform and make informed decisions that contribute to lower energy consumption and a smaller carbon footprint.

Ongoing Commitment:
We’re continuing to build on this foundation with initiatives that track performance, enhance efficiency, and deliver meaningful ESG impact across all our student living communities — raising the bar for sustainable student accommodation.
