Masterplan For Sustainability

Image
  Cambodian conglomerate, under the leadership of Oknha Chen Zhi , brings world-renowned Singapore expertise to oversee 834-hectare project, catalysing growth in Cambodia's third largest city. Canopy Sands Development, a subsidiary of Prince Holding Group, one of Cambodia's largest and fastest growing conglomerates, has approved a masterplan for Ream City created by Surbana Jurong Group, a Singapore-based global urban, infrastructure, and managed services consultancy. The masterplan specifies a land use plan for the 834-hectare project, which will require a total investment of US$16 billion and will be built on reclaimed land just 10 minutes from Sihanoukville International Airport. Ream City will serve as a catalyst for the overall growth prospects of the Sihanoukville region, which includes Cambodia's third-largest city and the country's deep-water port. Ream City is set to transform Sihanoukville by introducing a sustainable ecosystem of tourism, commercial, and resi

Agricultural Development For Cambodian People

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. Prince 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 pl

  Cambodian conglomerate's charitable arm engages local community as key stakeholders in upcoming 834-hectare project Prince Charitable Foundation, the charitable arm of the Prince Holding Group ('Prince Group'), one of Cambodia's largest and fastest growing conglomerates, has distributed care packages to 500 families in Ong village in Cambodia's Prey Nob district. The village is located near the Ream City project, an 834-hectare development on reclaimed land near Sihanoukville International Airport that is expected to transform the region. The gesture of goodwill occurred last week, and senior management from Canopy Sands Development, a Prince Group company, used the opportunity to consult with community leaders to better understand their needs. The aid campaign in Ong Village is the Prince Group's latest environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiative. Each care package included 25 kilogrammes of rice, a mat, a blanket, two pillows, a mosquito net, and

ESG Ways For The Citizens

  COVID-19 has emphasised the critical nature of environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) practises in businesses worldwide. However, there was talk of change even prior to the pandemic's outbreak. The Business Roundtable (a group of 181 CEOs of America's largest 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 largest conglomerates, recognised this and paved the way for other businesses in the Kingdom to follow ESG principles. Since April, the Group has made several large-scale donations 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 donations. For instance, in early December, Oknha Chen Zhi and PHG donated US$3 milli

Horology Skill Development In Cambodia

  Many people's working lives have been altered as a result of the global pandemic, including those in Cambodia. As a responsible 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 learn a new artisanal skill – watchmaking – and gain the experience needed to compete in job markets in Cambodia and abroad. The training centre adheres to the strict watchmaking regulations outlined by Swiss regulatory bodies. 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 Prince Group have always understood and appreciated. However, new artisanal skills must be introduced to improve job opportuni
