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...

Cambodian Agricultural Project

Image
  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 ...
