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.

Your Customs Playbook
Following the publication of HMGoG’s guidance on NIF and EORI registration requirements, the GFSB has produced a practical step-by-step playbook to help Gibraltar businesses navigate the process as clearly and confidently as possible. Over recent weeks, many members have contacted us with questions around whether they need a NIF or EORI number, what the process involves, and whether obtaining these registrations could create Spanish tax obligations.

NIF & EORI Guidance
After weeks of questions, confusion and growing concern amongst Gibraltar businesses, HM Government has now published formal guidance on NIF and EORI registration requirements linked to the future customs arrangements under the treaty. This is the clearest explanation yet of what these registrations are, who actually needs them, and perhaps most importantly, what they do not mean.
Gibraltar may be entering a different phase of its development. The expected implementation of the UK-EU Treaty, together with anticipated changes to Gibraltar’s residency rules, could alter the profile of people looking at Gibraltar as a base. If financial thresholds rise, Gibraltar may attract fewer casual applicants and a more concentrated group of internationally mobile, high-value residents. That could include the ultra high net worth market.
Member Q&A
Meet Spirit of the Rock
This week’s ThriveEDIT member Q&A spotlights Gin on the Rock Ltd, trading as Spirit of the Rock, a micro distillery based in the heart of Gibraltar’s old town, producing world-class spirits and hosting the Gibraltar Gin Experience. With a focus on authenticity, sustainability and products actually made in Gibraltar, this is a business that brings together local craft, visitor experience and plenty of personality.

The Residency Dilemma
As we approach the expected provisional application of the Treaty on 15 July 2026, one of the unresolved questions is: what happens to the businesses, entrepreneurs and economically active individuals who want to relocate here but cannot yet see a clear route through the residency system?
