About DevvStream
Founded in 2021, DevvStream is a leading authority in the use of
technology in carbon project development. The Company's mission is
to create alignment between sustainability and profitability,
helping organizations achieve their climate initiatives while
directly improving their financial health. With a pipeline of over
140 technology-based projects worldwide, DevvStream makes it simple
for corporations and governments to address their net-zero goals
while generating premium carbon credits in the process. DevvStream
takes a programmatic approach to evaluating project opportunities,
and co-develops projects spanning energy-efficient buildings,
facilities and homes, industrial facilities, LED systems, EV
charging stations, and technologies to seal oil wells. The
Company's end-to-end proprietary solution removes the risk and
complexity from every step, allowing organizations to move from
project ideation to credit monetization with ease. The result is a
multi-year stream of carbon credit revenue that transforms
sustainability into a financial investment. In addition, for
organizations that need help to offset their most
difficult-to-reduce emissions, we also provide premium carbon
credits for purchase.
