Measure. Innovate. GROW.

Quercus Consulting is a strategic advisory firm with a specialty in environmental policy. Issues of sustainability and climate change carry weighty challenges, but also offer tremendous opportunities. We use the lens of economic impact to evaluate the effectiveness of policy and program ideas, and to influence future actions. Our experience is your greatest ally: Quercus was founded in 1997, we were leaders in this field when “green” was just a color.

You invest time and money into your operations, we help develop policies and manage projects that identify environmental strengths and liabilities, resulting in cost savings, risk avoidance and strategic planning. We have done this for a variety of organizations – government agencies, corporations, education institutions – and most of the actions we develop exhibit a return on investment in less than three years. We dive into the data, evaluate the real return, and communicate the story to your key audiences: constituents, the C-suite, colleagues, investors.

Quercus Consulting is a certified woman-owned business with the City of Chicago (WBE), State of Illinois (FBE) and the Departments of Transportation in Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, and Wisconsin, (DBE and ACDBE).  Our headquarters is in Chicago, Illinois and we have an office in Cleveland, Ohio.
