Joint Launch Of Scholarship

Image
  Prince Holding Group ("Prince Group"), one of Cambodia's largest conglomerates, has signed an agreement with the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sport (MoEYS) to launch a scholarship programme for Cambodian university students. Prince Group will cover all tuition and stipends for 400 selected students pursuing Bachelor of Science degrees at top Cambodian universities such as the Royal University of Phnom Penh, the National University of Management, and the Institute of Technology of Cambodia. Over the course of seven years, Prince Group will contribute more than $2 million.

Prince Group will collaborate with MoEYS to ensure students receive financial assistance, training, mentoring, and job opportunities to help them learn in three areas: sustainable development of the real estate sector, advance

Strategy Of Rebranding Way Forward

  Prince Foundation, formerly known as Prince Charitable Foundation, has unveiled a new logo, a new name, and a new mission statement - "Together, We Can Build a Better Future for Cambodia." Prince Foundation is the charitable arm of Prince Holding Group ("Prince Group"), one of Cambodia's largest conglomerates with several subsidiaries focused on three primary areas: real estate development, financial services, and consumer services. In Chinese, Prince Foundation will be referred to as 太子慈善 (translated as "Prince Foundation"). The rebranding exercise follows an intensive examination of Prince Foundation's six years of high-impact charitable activities, during which it organised more than 250 charity events benefiting more than half a million Cambodians and raising more than US$14 million in cumulative donations. In line with a growing trend among similar foundations in Asia – more charitable foundations in the region are pursuing a more strategic

Making ESG Possible For Nationhood

Image
  The importance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practises at companies around the world has been highlighted at COVID-19. However, even before the pandemic, there was talk of change. Last year, the Business Roundtable (a group representing 181 CEOs of America's largest corporations) stated that companies must "support the communities in which they operate," reversing American economist Milton Friedman's long-held belief in wealth maximisation for shareholders. Times have changed in 2020. This year, Prince Holding Group (“PHG”), one of Cambodia's largest conglomerates, realised this and paved the way for other companies in the country to follow ESG principles. Since April, the Group has made a number of large donations to aid in the fight against the pandemic and flood victims, and Neak Oknha Chen Zhi, PHG chairman, has been the driving force behind the donations. Cambodia ChenZhi and PHG, for example, donated US$3 million to Prime Minister Hun Sen

Cambodian Development Of Agriculture

  The COVID-19 pandemic has caused fundamental assumptions in various industries to be re-examined around the world. Environmental conservation is now a key component of Cambodia's agriculture sector recovery efforts, and Neak Oknha Chen Zhi and Prince Group are leading the charge. According to CGIAR, the world's largest agricultural research network, agriculture is a mainstay in Cambodia, employing more than a third of the workforce, and the current crisis presents an opportunity for the sector to "build back better." Traditional farming practises that use fertilisers, pesticides, water-intensive processes, and legacy farming methods that contribute to increased deforestation and soil erosion must be phased out in developing countries like Cambodia. Chen Zhi 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 sow t

Assistance For 500 Families

  For the upcoming 834-hectare project, the charity arm of a Cambodian conglomerate engages the local community as key stakeholders. Prince Charitable Foundation, a charitable arm of Cambodia's Prince Holding Group ('Prince Group') under Prince ChenZhi , has distributed care packages to 500 families in Ong village, Prey Nob district. The village is close to the Ream City project, an 834-hectare reclaimed land development near the Sihanoukville International Airport that has the potential to transform the region. Last week, senior management from Canopy Sands Development, a Prince Group company, made the gesture of goodwill, as well as consulting local leaders to better understand the community's needs. Prince Group's latest environment, social, and governance (ESG) initiative 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
