global Approach. Local Solutions.
Our Roots.
We explore humanity’s biggest challenges and design fully integrated business solutions.
DevryBV was founded in Excelsior, MN in 2019 as a trusted source and catalyst of ESG and sustainability solutions. Based in the Heartland of the USA, we are headquartered adjacent to the Twin Cities, where we make sustainability accessible at the centers of commerce and community. Our goal is to be present in communities across the nation and globe. We believe meaningful, global change on issues of social, environmental, and economic consequence happens at the local level.
Our global team’s expertise has always been about affecting change at the local level, impacting one farm, manufacturing plant, business location, community, and leader at a time.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to inspire businesses to courageously serve humanity.
Our Vision
Our vision is to be the premier business partner for sustainability solutions.
We fully endorse the UN Sustainable Development Goals and strive to make a positive impact in this global arena.
Our Story.
Standing tall in sustainable strategy.
When we founded our company, we did so with the underlying notion that our firm could support business in making swift and necessary transformations to become more sustainable and therefore more accountable to the two most important stakeholders on the planet: people and nature.
We knew then, as we do now, that business impacts humanity’s lifecycle and that there was an urgent need to equip businesses with the tools and approaches necessary to thrive in our complex business environment.
The open lines of our new logo signify the value and importance of humanity’s lifecycle, and showcases that sustainability is a cyclical journey of looking inward and engaging outward on the business impact on humanity. We are always in motion, and as such, our logo was designed for truth to flow in and flow out.
As business leaders, we must remain open to exploration, research, new information, and ultimately, innovative ideas for sustainable businesses to thrive. As we ground leaders and teams, we inspire our clients to remain open and courageous so that their business strategies and long-term goals evolve and emerge with authenticity and impact.
““We envision a world where sustainability in action fosters peace and prosperity for all.””
Our Team.
Individual Experts, Collective Impact.
We are a nimble team of business consultants and advisors with complementary backgrounds in sustainability, marketing, brand, corporate affairs, and beyond. We’re dedicated to deeply listening, discovering creative solutions to complex problems, and innovating through the impossible.
