For over a decade, many of the world's largest corporations have produced
voluntary environmental and sustainability reports. The most common reason has been to
assure stakeholders--employees, investors, customers--that the company
takes environmental and social matters seriously and acts responsibly.
Students and faculty at the Roberts Environmental Center have been
studying these reports for several years and our methods and ongoing results are presented on this web site in graphical form,
in published sector reports, technical papers, and a book.
We analyze these reports using the Pacific
Sustainability Index (PSI) and publish the results on
this web site.

The
principal goal of the Roberts Environmental Center (REC)
is to involve students in real-world environmental
issues and to train them to analyze the issues from
as broad a perspective as possible, taking science,
economics and policy into consideration. The
Environment, Economics, and Politics (EEP) major is
sponsored by the REC.The Center’s current
research is focused on global corporate
environmental transparency and performance. Students
and faculty analyze the environmental and
sustainability reporting of the worlds largest
corporations and publish the results in technical
papers, commercial books, and on this website. The Center’s interest
in environmental law, environmental biology, and
natural resource management is reflected in its
courses on these topics, and in senior theses and
student summer projects it supports, many of which
are carried out at the CMC Burger Reserve. The REC is named for
George R. Roberts '66, Founding Partner, Kohlberg
Kravis Roberts & Co.
