STARS

The Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) developed the Sustainability Tracking Assessment and Rating System (STARS) program in 2006 to accomplish two primary goals: Track sustainability progress within an institution and share this progress with other institutions. As a tracking tool, STARS provides standards for an institution to measure their existing and proposed sustainability programs, projects, and goals. As a sharing tool, STARS publishes individual results for other members of the program. Using these methods for tracking and publication, STARS provides a comprehensive and standardized means for universities across the United States and Canada to measure and compare their unique sustainability programs and performances relative to other institutions.
