Through sustainability benchmarking, colleges and universities can begin their climate action journeys

Whether reviewing, coordinating, or managing the entire process of submitting an inventory, GreenerU gets your institution to the STARS.

Leveraging STARS to advance your sustainability goals

AASHE STARS inventorying, analysis, and submission is a lengthy and complex process—one that can be all-consuming for an institution.

Meghna Tare, chief sustainability officer at the University of Texas at Arlington, joined us in September 2022 to talk about how UTA took STARS reporting to the next level to make the data accessible and clear to campus stakeholders.

Upcoming webinars

From time to time, GreenerU hosts webinars and workshops on topics ranging from climate neutrality and energy efficiency measures to climate action planning and facilitation. Watch this space for upcoming webinar topics featuring stories from your peers, lessons learned, and best practices in sustainability and climate change mitigation.

The much-anticipated new version of STARS—Sustainability Tracking, Assessment, and Rating System—has launched, and there are some new opportunities for points by reviewing the data before submitting to AASHE. A panel discussion at the AASHE conference in Spokane that GreenerU moderated helped participants figure out how to tackle one of the most important tools available for measuring sustainability on college campuses.
