SUSTAINABILITY & REGENERATIVE BUSINESS

Sustainability isn't a cost.
It's your next competitive advantage.

Most companies treat sustainability as a compliance exercise — a reporting burden managed separately from how the business actually creates value. The companies that will win the next decade are the ones redesigning their models around sustainability, not bolting it on as an afterthought.

THE CORE INSIGHT

ESG has improved disclosure without improving outcomes — because it operates at the reporting layer, not the capital allocation layer. Companies can score well on ESG frameworks while remaining fundamentally extractive. Real sustainability transformation requires embedding ecological and social performance into how you measure value, price decisions, and allocate capital. That is where BGC works.

WHY SUSTAINABILITY DRIVES GROWTH
💰

Access to Cheaper Capital

ESG-aligned and sustainability-linked financing is growing fast. Regenerative business models increasingly unlock lower borrowing costs and preferred investor terms.

📈

New Revenue Streams

Circular models, product-as-a-service, green premiums and resource productivity improvements create revenue and margin opportunities that linear models leave on the table.

🛡️

Risk Reduction

Supply chain resilience, early regulatory positioning and reduced resource dependency protect margins from shocks that traditional models don't price until it's too late.

🏆

Market Differentiation

Sustainability executed at the business-model level — not the reporting level — becomes a genuine competitive advantage that is hard to copy and increasingly demanded by clients and partners.

HOW WE WORK

Three sustainability service tracks

TRACK 01

Sustainable Business Model Redesign

  • Integrate circular economy principles into your core value model
  • Move from linear extraction to regenerative value creation
  • Identify sustainability-linked revenue and margin opportunities
  • Design for resource productivity and closed-loop systems
TRACK 02

Sustainable Finance & Capital Strategy

  • Sustainability-linked financing structures and ESG-aligned capital
  • ESG reporting redesigned to drive decisions, not just disclosures
  • Embed sustainability into WACC, hurdle rates and investment criteria
  • Align capital allocation with long-term systemic resilience
TRACK 03

Transformation Roadmap for Sustainability

  • Phased, practical implementation of sustainable practices
  • Change management to build a culture that owns sustainability
  • KPI frameworks that measure real ecological and social impact
  • Regulatory positioning and stakeholder alignment
ORIGINAL RESEARCH · THE Z-FACTOR
What if ecological performance changed your cost of capital?

I am developing an original framework — the Z-Factor — that proposes embedding ecological, circularity, biodiversity and social resilience performance directly into WACC. The mechanism is simple: regenerative businesses earn cheaper capital; extractive ones pay more. Sustainability stops being a reporting footnote and becomes a pricing variable. If you are thinking about the intersection of sustainability and finance strategy, I would welcome the conversation.

Traditional WACC
= (E/D+E)×Re + (D/D+E)×Rd×(1-T)
Z-Adjusted WACC
WACCz = WACC + Z
Z > 0 · extractive model → higher cost
Z = 0 · neutral model
Z < 0 · regenerative model → lower cost
TAX PLANNING & OPTIMIZATION

Keep more of what you earn — legally.

Most people and companies don't overpay tax because they break the rules. They overpay because they never use the ones written in their favour.

+ CHF 25,000

That's what I recovered on my own Swiss tax filing — not through loopholes, but by knowing precisely which deductions and corrections applied. Most people leave that money with the authorities, year after year. With a background in transfer pricing and Swiss corporate taxation, my job is to make sure you don't.

For Companies

CORPORATE TAX & TRANSFER PRICING
  • Transfer pricing strategy & documentation — OECD and Swiss compliant
  • R&D super-deduction & innovation incentives most firms never claim
  • Profit & margin optimization through sound legal-entity structuring
  • Standard costing aligned to tax-efficient, defensible outcomes

For Individuals & Expats

PERSONAL SWISS TAX OPTIMIZATION
  • Swiss tax-return review to uncover commonly missed deductions
  • Expat essentials: withholding-tax corrections, pillar 3a, relocation costs
  • Cross-border income & residency planning, explained clearly
  • Straightforward, fully compliant strategies — no grey areas

100% compliant, always. Optimization is about knowing the rules — not bending them. Delivered in coordination with your fiduciary or tax representative where filing is required.

BILLING & ENGAGEMENT OPTIONS

Flexible billing structures for every client

BGC works with Swiss and international clients across a range of legally sound billing arrangements — from direct mandate invoicing to temporary staffing structures. We make it easy to engage in the way that works best for your organisation.

ANobAG

ARBEITNEHMER OHNE BEITRAGSPFLICHTIGEN ARBEITGEBER

For clients who prefer an employer-of-record structure — typically foreign companies without a Swiss entity. BGC manages its own AHV/social contributions directly with the Swiss compensation office. Your company engages as the employer of record.

Foreign companies No Swiss entity required Fully AHV compliant

GmbH Engagement

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY · FOR LARGER MANDATES

For larger, longer-term or multi-resource engagements, BGC can operate through a registered GmbH structure. Preferred by corporates and PE-backed clients with formal procurement requirements.

Enterprise clients Formal procurement PE-backed companies

Umbrella / Temporary Mandate

PAYROLLING STRUCTURE · FLEXIBLE

For clients who need a temporary staffing or interim arrangement — BGC can be engaged via a SECO-licensed Swiss umbrella company, providing maximum flexibility and full social coverage for short-term or interim mandates.

Interim mandates Short-term engagements Full social coverage
📋 Practical notes: All engagements are fixed-fee or clearly scoped — no open-ended billing surprises. Swiss VAT (8.1%) applies to domestic clients above the CHF 100,000 annual threshold; EU and international B2B clients are generally invoiced net with no Swiss VAT under the reverse-charge mechanism. Payment terms: 30 days net. Not sure which structure fits your situation? We'll sort it on the discovery call — it takes five minutes.
Sebastián Bassi
THE FOUNDER

Sebastian Bassi

A finance transformation executive with 15+ years of international experience across KPMG, IBM and a global water technology leader. Sebastian has led enterprise-wide initiatives that modernize finance, optimize performance, and enable better decision-making.

His path into transformation started early. Sebastian began in the technical core of finance — working with derivatives and commodity financial analysis — before joining KPMG as a financial statement auditor, covering oil & gas clients and working across covenant agreements and SOX control frameworks. He then moved to IBM, where he led the transition of a Shared Service Center from the United States to Argentina; after a year spent rebuilding its processes and reporting, he helped migrate the operation onward to Costa Rica — a formative lesson in what he does best: standardizing and elevating finance across borders, cultures and systems.

His strength is turning complexity into clarity — aligning stakeholders across regions and driving the adoption that makes change actually stick. He holds an Executive MBA from Bologna Business School focused on business model redesign, sustainability and transformation strategy.
