Our environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles are fundamental to Dot and our family of companies.

By focusing on these guiding principles across our Dot family, we’re helping to build a better future for our students, employees, investors, and the broader industry.

We are committed to:

GSA

GSA’s ambition is to be the most sustainable provider of student housing on a global scale.
