NECSC- Sustainability Surveys & Rankings

Published on Jul 4, 2011

UVM Office of Sustainability

Sustainability surveys and rankings (e.g. Princeton Review’s Green Honor Roll, Sustainable Endowments Institute’s GreenReport.org, etc.) are becoming important factors in determining the reputation of campus sustainability programs. Yet, concerns and questions have been expressed about the rapid rise in the number, quality, and what lessons should be drawn from these sustainability surveys and rankings. Please join James Salo, one of the principal architects of the recently launched Green Rankings in Newsweek magazine, an environmental ranking of the 500 largest companies in the U.S. and Paul Rowland, Executive Director of AASHE, which unveiled its own Sustainability, Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS) in an interactive discussion on the use and application of sustainability surveys and rankings in college and university campuses today.
