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!”

What You Missed
Clocked out in August? Good for you. Thrive EDIT Editor David Revagliatte rounds up the Gibraltar business stories worth clocking back into. August is supposed to be the month when Gibraltar collectively eases off the accelerator. Judging by the news cycle, nobody told 2026. The first full month of life under the new Treaty arrangements brought a mixture of early optimism and very real teething problems for businesses. New employment rules landed, a pensions deadline crept closer, one of Gibraltar's most important airlines changed hands and a major local bank announced job cuts.
