AASHE is proud to announce our third cohort of STARS data quality certified professionals! The STARS Data Quality certificate program promotes STARS report quality and accuracy through training around reporting and review. Thirty individuals from three countries completed the Fall 2025 training and certification.
A list of certificate holders can be found on the Certificate Program webpage. STARS data quality certified professionals are trained to contribute to high-quality and accurate STARS reporting, and become certified before either serving as a reviewer on a STARS report, or serving as a data provider and submitting a report. These efforts are recognized in a STARS bonus credit, IL 2: Data Quality Certificate.
Sustainability professionals working in (or considering) STARS are encouraged to utilize this list as a resource for soliciting STARS report reviews, networking, or making other connections.
If you are interested in becoming a STARS data quality certified professional yourself, we will hold additional trainings in 2026 (dates to be announced via AASHE newsletters and online communities).
