About 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 higher education community.
STARS is designed to:
• Provide a framework for understanding sustainability in all sectors of higher education.
• Enable meaningful comparisons over time and across institutions using a common set of
measurements developed with broad participation from the campus sustainability community.
• Create incentives for continual improvement toward sustainability.
• Facilitate information sharing about higher education sustainability practices and performance.
• Build a stronger, more diverse campus sustainability community.
STARS is intended to engage and recognize the full spectrum of colleges and universities—from
community colleges to research universities, and from institutions just starting their
sustainability programs to long- time campus sustainability leaders. STARS encompasses long-term
sustainability goals for already high- achieving institutions as well as entry points of
recognition for institutions that are taking first steps toward sustainability.
About AASHE
STARS is a program of AASHE, the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher
Education. AASHE is a member-driven organization with a mission to empower higher education to lead
