About RMI

Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was established in 1982 by resource analysts L. Hunter Lovins and Amory B. Lovins. What began as a small group of colleagues focusing on energy policy has since grown into a broad-based institution with approximately eighty full-time staff, an annual budget of nearly $12 million (over half of it earned through programmatic enterprise), and a global reach.

RMI brings a unique perspective to resource issues, guided by the following core principles:

• Advanced Resource Productivity
• Systems Thinking
• Positive Action
• Market-Oriented Solutions
• End-Use/Least-Cost Approach
• Biological Insight
• Corporate Transformation
• The Pursuit of Interconnections
• Natural Capitalism
