Under the leadership of Grant Dempster, Global Head of Risk and Sustainability at The Dot Group, GSA has embedded sustainability throughout the asset lifecycle. Dempster has implemented a structured RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed) framework, aligning responsibilities across asset acquisition, operations, and disposition to operationalize ESG strategies and integrate sustainability practices into GSA’s culture. This approach ensures sustainability activities are incorporated into daily operations, long-term strategy, and key areas such as utility data monitoring, sustainability audits, and CapEx decisions.

GSA has committed to achieving net zero carbon across our portfolio by 2050 and has established strategic focus areas to support and track delivery via the Measurabl platform.

“Measurable sustainability performance is more than just an operational necessity—it’s a competitive advantage,” said Grant Dempster, Global Head of Risk and Sustainability at the Dot Group. “With Measurabl, we can consolidate data, and gain deeper insights across our assets, helping us to understand consumption and meet certifications.
