Georgia Tech uses the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS) as a transparent, self-reporting framework to measure sustainability performance.

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.
    • Create incentives for continual sustainability improvement.
    • Facilitate information sharing about higher education sustainability practices and performance.
    • Build a stronger, more diverse campus sustainability community.
