The UW reports its sustainability efforts to several grading/ranking institutions to see how we are doing compared to other schools. With the information reported, STARS helps us measure and report our sustainability performance, the Princeton Review produces a National College Guide, the Sierra Club creates a list of Cool Schools for their magazine, and the Sustainable Endowments Institute produces a College Sustainability Report Card. The table below shows our ratings over the last five years. Learn more about UW Sustainability Awards & Recognition. GOAL: achieve the highest rankings possible (Platinum, 99, 1st, and A+).
