A collaboration between DevvStream and a former member of the House of Commons of the Canadian Parliament, Marmota will work with organizations and governments to achieve their climate goals while enabling investment into global carbon markets

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan.16th, 2023 — DevvStream Holdings Inc. (“DevvStream” or the “Company”), a leading carbon credit investment firm specializing in technology solutions, today announced the launch of Marmota Solutions Incorporated (“Marmota”), a joint venture between the Company and Brian Storseth, former member of Parliament and owner of iPolitics and Wellington Dupont, a North American public affairs firm with offices in Washington, D.C. and Ottawa. As of launch, Marmota has begun discussions with multiple Canadian municipalities for carbon projects to result in the production of carbon credits to meet their climate objectives. Marmota is actively seeking similar engagements across Canada with organizations in both the public and private sector.

The Company’s management believes that the sustainability space today lacks a single entity with the in-house expertise to create global-scale technology projects and complex carbon offset programs that address the ambitious climate goals of the world’s governments and corporations. Marmota was established to fill that gap, combining Brian Storseth’s deep government roots, political acumen, and policymaking background with the Company’s expertise in compliance and voluntary carbon markets, its advanced blockchain-based digital asset platform, and its curated ecosystem of technology partners with over 100 field-proven projects. Marmota’s goal is to enable organizations and governments at every level—municipal, provincial, and federal—to meet their sustainability objectives, generate high-value technology-based carbon credits, facilitate their participation in voluntary carbon markets, and help establish or expand their compliance market programs.

“Marmota represents the coming together of multiple areas of expertise: public policy, government regulation, carbon markets, green financing, and sustainable technologies,” said Sunny Trinh, CEO of DevvStream. “Bringing this knowledge under one roof enables us to help our customers meet their sustainability goals—and find paths to liquidity via carbon markets—more quickly.”

“I’m thrilled to be joining in this venture as an early mover to help grow the Canadian carbon credit market,” said Brian Storseth. “Technology-based carbon credits offer an important opportunity for Canadian governments, businesses and investors to achieve climate goals in a fiscally responsible manner.”

The Company’s common shares (the “Shares”) will commence trading on the NEO Exchange at market open on January 17, 2023. The Shares will trade under the symbol “DESG”.
