The Ethical Investor Sustainability Awards recognise outstanding achievement in a range of areas of corporate sustainability. The Sustainable Small Company of the Year award is given for leading the way on corporate social responsibility as judged by Australia's experts in the area.

Gale Pacific Limited is committed to striving for excellence in its business without impacting negatively on the environment or the community as well as manufacturing products that better preserve the environment. One of the Company's key business areas is the making of advanced polymer fabrics that are designed to protect people and the environment from the sun and UV light and to decrease water evaporation.

The Company's recent initiatives in irrigation piping (which minimise water loss and salinity) and biological sheep shearing nets (which improve fleece quality and reduce the stress and cuts of shearing), were recognised by the Ethical Investor. The Company's high level of sustainability-related innovation together with its generation of returns of approximately 27% per annum over the last four years was recognised.
