We envisage a world thriving, verdant, and secure, for all, for ever. To that end, our mission is to drive the efficient and restorative use of resources.

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. Rocky Mountain Institute® (RMI) is an independent, entrepreneurial, nonprofit think-and-do tank™. RMI's style is nonadversarial and transideological, emphasizing integrative design, advanced technologies, and mindful markets.
