Celebrating Sustainability Success
We were proud to host and sponsor this year’s Gibraltar Sustainable Awards in collaboration with The Nautilus Project at the Gibtelecom Conference Hall. The annual event, now in its seventh year, continues to recognise local businesses, organisations, and individuals that are leading the way in sustainability and environmental stewardship across Gibraltar.
This year’s theme, Prairies of the Sea, highlighted the importance of protecting Gibraltar’s marine ecosystems and celebrated those taking meaningful action to reduce their carbon and plastic footprint. The awards showcased a wide range of initiatives, from corporate sustainability programmes to grassroots conservation projects.
GFSB Board member Ron Wagemakers was in attendance and during his welcome, said. “The GFSB is proud to support this initiative which places a spotlight on the great work being carried out to protect Gibraltar’s environment. This year’s finalists raised the bar yet again!”

Letter to Government
A coalition of Gibraltar’s leading business organisations, including the GFSB, Chamber of Commerce and sector bodies, has written to the Chief Minister and Minister for Business following up on their February open letter on treaty readiness. Its main message? The extra time ahead of the 15th July implementation is welcome, but what really matters now is how this time is being used.
