Status Score Responsible Party
n/a 0.00 /

Criteria

An institution earns 1 bonus point when at least 50 percent of its on-site food service establishments are formally recognized for leadership in sustainable dining by a national or international assessment or awards program. Partial points are available. An institution with at least one food service establishment that is formally recognized by a qualifying assessment or awards program earns 0.5 bonus points.

An updated list of qualifying programs is available in the STARS Help Center.

Measurement

Report on recognition achieved during the previous three years and currently valid certifications. 

An institution that has earned an award or certification for a multi-establishment dining program may report establishments operated by the program and included in the awards or certification process as “recognized”.

If a food court includes independently branded or operated franchises or retailers, those franchises or retailers should be treated as distinct establishments to the extent feasible. Otherwise, a food court may be treated as a single establishment.


Applicability

This credit is optional.
