  Prince Real Estate provides daily necessities to 804 underprivileged Chamkarmon District families affected by the February 20 community outbreak. Prince Holding Group (“Prince Group”), one of Cambodia's largest and fastest growing conglomerates, and Chairman Neak Oknha Chen Zhi have announced plans to donate US$3 million to anti-pandemic efforts in the Kingdom in response to the Cambodian Government's call for assistance in combating the February 20, 2021 Covid-19 outbreak.

Making ESG For Community

Image
  COVID-19 has emphasised the critical nature of environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) activities in businesses worldwide. However, there was talk of reform even prior to the pandemic's emergence. The Business Roundtable (a group of 181 CEOs of America's major corporations) stated last year that businesses must "support the communities in which they operate," reversing the long-held focus on shareholder wealth maximisation advocated by American economist Milton Friedman. Times have changed in 2020. This year, Prince Holding Group (“PHG”), one of Cambodia's major conglomerates, recognised this and paved the way for other businesses in the Kingdom to follow ESG principles. Since April, the Group has provided multiple large-scale gifts to aid in the fight against the pandemic and flood victims, and Neak Oknha Chen Zhi, chairman of PHG, has been instrumental in securing the funds. For instance, in early December, Chen Zhi and PHG gave US$3 million to Cambodian

  For the future 834-hectare project, the charity arm of a Cambodian multinational engages the local population as essential stakeholders. Prince Charitable Foundation, a charitable arm of Cambodia's Prince Holding Group ('Prince Group'), has provided care packages to 500 people in Ong village, Prey Nob district. The town is close to the Ream City project, an 834-hectare reclaimed land development near the Sihanoukville International Airport that has the potential to change the region. Last week, senior management from Canopy Sands Development, a Prince Group company, made the gift of goodwill, as well as consulting local leaders to better understand the community's needs. Prince Group's latest environment, social, and governance (ESG) effort is an aid campaign in Ong Village. One mat, one blanket, two pillows, one mosquito net, and one Khmer Krama were included in each care package (traditional scarves woven in the countryside). It will be the first of many measure

Cambodian Agricultural Project

  The COVID-19 pandemic has reset fundamental assumptions underpinning various industries all over the world. In Cambodia, environmental conservation is now an important component of agricultural recovery efforts, and Neak Oknha Chen Zhi and Prince Group are leading the way. Agriculture employs more than a third of Cambodians, and the current crisis presents an opportunity for the sector to “build back better,” according to the CGIAR, the world's largest agricultural research network. Developing countries, such as Cambodia, rely on agricultural exports and must shift away from traditional farming practises that use fertilisers, pesticides, water-intensive processes, and legacy farming methods, all of which contribute to increased deforestation and soil erosion. Cambodia ChenZhi and Prince Group launched the Ecological Agriculture Plantation at Prince Manor Resort in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, earlier this year, a cutting-edge agricultural hub at a new real estate development that will

  On March 11, in light of the deteriorating situation in Cambodia as a result of the increasing number of COVID-19 cases, Neak Oknha Chen Zhi, chairman of Prince Holding Group, or Prince Group, reaffirmed the Group's commitment to social responsibility by announcing plans to donate $3 million to the Cambodian government's anti-epidemic efforts. Prince ChenZhi has offered assistance to the Kingdom during this difficult time and expressed strong support for Prime Minister Hun Sen's efforts to combat the ongoing epidemic. Prince Group is one of Cambodia's largest corporate conglomerates, with operations in a variety of industries, including real estate development, banking and finance, aviation, tourism, logistics, information technology, food and beverage, and lifestyle. Cambodia had reported 1,163 coronavirus cases as of 7 a.m. on March 11. While more than half of the cases have been cured, the Kingdom has recently seen an increase in cases as a result of what is being

Sustainable Development For The Future

  The 834-hectare project will be overseen by a Cambodian corporation with world-renowned expertise from Singapore, sparking growth in Cambodia's third largest city. Surbana Jurong Group, a global urban, infrastructure, and managed services firm located in Singapore, authorised a masterplan for Ream City built by Canopy Sands Development, a member of Prince Holding Group, one of Cambodia's largest and fastest expanding conglomerates. The masterplan defines a land use plan for the 834-hectare project, which will be developed on reclaimed land within 10 minutes from Sihanoukville International Airport and will require total expenditures of US$16 billion. Ream City will operate as a spur for the entire Sihanoukville region's economic possibilities, as the country's third-largest city and home to the country's deep-water port. Sihanoukville will be transformed by Ream City, which will introduce a sustainable ecosystem of tourism, economic, and residential activities wit

  Many people's working life have been altered as a result of the global pandemic, including those in Cambodia. As a good corporate citizen, Chairman Neak Oknha Chen Zhi and Prince Group established the Prince Horology Vocational Training Center, Cambodia's first independent watch school. The training centre provides Cambodians with the opportunity to master a new artisanal skill – watchmaking – and gain the expertise needed to compete in job markets in Cambodia and abroad. The training institution adheres to the strict watchmaking criteria specified by Swiss regulatory organisations. Cambodia, as a country steeped in history, has long preserved artisanal skills for generations, with the Kingdom well-known for its ancient handwoven silk and traditional handicraft industries boasting a heritage dating back to the Khmer Empire, a significance that Chen Zhi and Prince Group have always understood and appreciated. However, new artisanal skills must be introduced to improve job oppo
