Dr. PD Bastien Girod is a Partner at Deloitte Switzerland in Strategy & Sustainability. He supports leadership teams in translating sustainability, regulation, energy and resource trends into strategic choices that strengthen competitiveness, cost position and resilience.
His focus is on companies and sectors where climate transition, circularity, resource dependencies and regulatory developments have a direct impact on business models, investment decisions and market access — particularly Energy, Resources & Industrials, Life Sciences and Consumer.
A distinctive element of Bastien’s profile is his experience at the interface of corporate strategy, regulation and public affairs. He helps clients anticipate political and regulatory developments, understand their implications for markets and value chains, and derive robust strategic options.
His core areas of expertise include climate and decarbonization strategies, circularity, energy and resource transformation, critical raw materials, and environmental and socio-economic assessments. Together with Deloitte specialists across strategy, business design, technology, data and AI, he helps clients embed sustainability as part of growth, performance, cost reduction and long-term competitiveness.
Before joining Deloitte, Bastien built a distinctive profile across science, politics and business. As a former member of the Swiss Parliament and academic at ETH Zurich, he brings a deep understanding of how regulation, technology, markets, stakeholders and corporate strategy interact.
