This project uses metrics from STARS and HESA to assess performance on environmental indicators such as energy and waste.

Here are the full lists of metrics from the two standards available on WikiRate: (1) the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) used by UK educational institutions, and (2) the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS) developed by AASHE, which is a global standards for university reporting.

Once you have inputed data on the first set of research metrics, the calculated metrics (see metric definitions), which combine data from multiple research metrics to make an analysis, will automatically update to include the new research.

The University of Michigan has been added to the project as an example of good practices in conducting CSR data research according to these metrics:
