Chestnut Consulting is committed to helping organizations succeed through sound sustainable business management in four areas: social, environmental, cultural, and economic. We build earth-friendly systems and design innovative processes, focusing on innovative organizations seeking to position America as a global competitor.

We are a project-oriented firm offering competitive fees for our professional services. Our knowledge base is substantial, our approach fact-based and tailored to client needs. We are constantly assessing different kinds of risk, advising clients on growth opportunities while helping them overcome barriers such as the stereotype that environmentalists and businesspeople cannot work together toward common goals.

Let us help you implement sustainable management practices within your organization, changes that improve everyone's job performance and quality of life.

We can typically cut your operational costs by 20-30% and save you thousands to millions of dollars per year, depending on your size and budget. The trick for most organizations is to overcome the "fear factor": companies need to adopt a long-term benefit philosophy rather than a short-term one. Our sustainable strategic planning and business methods build value and profitability.

Realistic goals and tangible rewards include:

• Sustainable Business and Project Management. Using our own proprietary methods and in partnership with the SAS Institute, we can assess your organization's sustainability profile, examining carbon emissions, energy efficienty, compliance requirements, and environmental risk. We can turn liabilities into opportunities and assets.
• Sustainable Business Development. We have created strong business and social networks that can connect you with companies to develop new markets and "eco-opportunities."
• Sustainable Change Behavior. Our methods can change your culture from business-as-usual to sustainable. Creating a culture around sustainability energizes people and encourages innovation.
• Sustainability Leadership. We provide thought leadership and domain expertise around sustainable building, alternative and renewable energy, green technology, and green banking.

  These methods help you eliminate waste, lower your risk exposure, and reduce your expenses, often significantly.
