Carleton University has once again achieved a Gold rating through the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS), demonstrating sustained leadership and continued progress in campus sustainability.
STARS is a program of AASHE, The Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, and is a comprehensive sustainability rating system for colleges and universities that addresses the environmental, social and economic dimensions of sustainability. Developed by the higher education community through a transparent and inclusive process, STARS provides a shared framework for understanding, measuring, and advancing sustainability in higher education.
Carleton’s Gold rating reflects its overall performance across four main categories, Academics, Engagement, Operations, and Planning & Administration. STARS ratings are based on an institution’s total score across all credits and are earned through an assessment process that incorporates data accuracy and quality assurance measures.
Earning a Gold rating for the second time highlights Carleton’s ongoing commitment to embedding sustainability into teaching, research, operations, and community engagement, and to continuous improvement over time.
