Dividend history

The Ethical Property Company offers investors the chance to make an ethical investment that offers the potential for financial, social and environmental returns.

We have paid a dividend every year for over ten years; 3 pence per Share in April 2000, 3.25 pence per share in April 2005 and 3 pence once more in April 2011. 

Our dividend is announced each February with the release of our Annual Report. Dividends are then paid every April, following their approval at our Annual General Meeting in March. 

Shareholders in Ethical Property are offered the choice to waive their dividend each year.  In this instance, dividends are transferred into our 'Making Waives' fund, set up to allow us to explore and develop new initiatives that strengthen our social and environmental returns. 

In the last 12 months shareholders who have opted to waive their dividend have supported the development of an ethical standard for the property industry - a partnership project with Ethical Property Foundation, a recycling awareness programme in our centres and a rental hardship fund for those organisations with short-term funding problems. 

Shareholders can opt to waive their dividend at any time by contacting Capita Registrars on 0871 664 0300.
