The Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS®)
The Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS®) is a transparent, self-reporting framework for colleges and universities to gauge relative progress toward sustainability. STARS was developed by AASHE with broad participation from the highereducation community.
STARS is designed to:
1. Provide a framework for understanding sustainability in all sectors of higher education.2. Enable meaningful comparisons over time and across institutions using a common set of measurements developed with broad participation from the campus sustainability community.3. Create incentives for continual improvement toward sustainability.4. Facilitate information sharing about higher education sustainability practices and performance.5. Build a stronger, more diverse campus sustainability community.
