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
