Events
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!”

Thrive
What a Year!
What a year it's been! From the Treaty moving from negotiation to reality to AI, workplace pensions, business confidence and everything in between, this year's Thrive EDIT has helped members navigate one of the busiest periods in Gibraltar's recent history.

Could Gibraltar be missing a golden opportunity? GFSB Board Director Brian Ross believes the answer is yes. In this thought-provoking opinion piece, he argues that Gibraltar should consider a residency route for financially self-sufficient individuals, attracting experienced people with the wealth, expertise and international networks to strengthen our economy. Could this be the next step in keeping Gibraltar competitive?

Growing Beyond the Owner

This entrepreneurial approach has been instrumental in the growth of many of Gibraltar's successful businesses. However, as organisations develop, dependence on a single individual can become a strategic risk.
