The Nautilus Project- Gibraltar Sustainable Awards in collaboration with the GFSB
World Oceans Day is a yearly celebration to raise awareness of the vital importance of our oceans and the role they play in sustaining a healthy planet. It looks to bring people and organisations together across the globe in a series of events highlighting how we can all help protect the oceans.
The Nautilus Project are really excited to announce that after the last two year’s great successes, we will be hosting our 3rd consecutive Gibraltar Sustainable Awards in collaboration with the GFSB. The theme this year will be Life and Livelihoods.
We are on the lookout for local businesses, organisations, charities and clubs that have implemented the highest number of green initiatives including minimising their carbon and plastic footprints.
Examples may include (but are not limited to):
- Awarded the most TNP certificates since accreditations began.
- Implemented Energy Saving practices.
- Cutback on single use plastics.
- Recycling within workplace.
- Reduction in CO2 emissions.
- Sustainability within the workplace.
Prizegiving ceremony is set for World Oceans Day 8th June 2021. A slight setback due to Covid-19 took place last year causing a month’s delay but the awards evening is presently on track.
Deadline for entries is: Monday 17th May 2021 (end of the working day)
Entries are to be sent via power point presentations to info@thenautilusproject.co on or before the above date.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.
Last years’ nine finalists were a true testament to the diverse representation on how the Gibraltarian community is engaging with our environment. We trust that this year is yet to supersede.

More Treaty Town Halls
The Government has announced a series of sector-specific Treaty Town Hall meetings, aimed at helping businesses understand how the new arrangements will work in practice. The initial sessions will focus on pharmaceuticals, medical products and special customs procedures, with ministers, HM Customs and the Attorney General on hand to answer questions and provide further guidance ahead of implementation.

Annual Dinner Looks Ahead
More than 250 members and guests gathered at a sold-out GFSB Annual Dinner just one month before Treaty implementation. With addresses from Owen Smith and Minister Gemma Arias-Vasquez, and an inspiring keynote from GoHenry co-founder Louise Hill, the evening combined practical insight, entrepreneurial lessons and plenty of conversation about Gibraltar's future.
Innovation is often associated with large technology companies and major research budgets. Last week's GFSB Business Innovation Awards offered a useful reminder that innovation can also be practical, local and driven by small businesses solving real-world problems.

New Residency Rules
A few weeks ago, we wrote about how the lack of clear residency rules was affecting local businesses. This week, the Government has announced a new residency framework that could significantly change who is able to become a resident of Gibraltar in the future, and on what basis. The stated aim is to ensure that residency is linked to genuine economic contribution, protect public services and provide greater clarity around who qualifies for residency and the benefits that come with it.
