  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 developed by Surbana Jurong Group, a Singapore-headquartered global urban, infrastructure, and managed services consultancy. The masterplan establishes a land use strategy for the 834-hectare project, which will require an estimated US$16 billion in total investment and will be developed on reclaimed land just ten minutes from Sihanoukville International Airport. Ream City will serve as a catalyst for the entire Sihanoukville region's growth prospects, as Cambodia's third largest city and home to the country's deep-water port. Ream City is set to transform Sihanoukville by establishing a sustainable ecosystem of tourism, commercial, and residential activity capable of housing up to 130,000 people. The masterplan envisions the development of family attractions, condominiums, landed and beachfront homes, and

  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 request for assistance in combating the Covid-19 outbreak on February 20, 2021. This follows Chen Zhi's original donation of US$3 million in December to assist Cambodia in purchasing COVID-19 vaccinations. Furthermore, Prince Real Estate, a member of Prince Group, has distributed vital food supplies to 804 families in need and 234 members of the police force in Chamkarmon District, Phnom Penh, Cambodia, affected by the February 20, 2021 Covid-19 outbreak, following in the footsteps of Prince Group and Chen Zhi. While the Cambodian government has provided exceptional assistance, totaling $1.16 billion and accounting for 5% of GDP so far, Prince Group recognises that private businesses must also play a critical role in

Rebranding Review For Strategic Purposes

Image
  Prince Foundation, formerly known as Prince Charitable Foundation, has unveiled a new logo, a new name, and a new mission statement - "Together, Building 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 and

  Cambodian conglomerate's charitable arm engages local community as important players in future 834-hectare project Prince Charitable Foundation, the charitable arm of Prince Holding Group ('Prince Group'), one of Cambodia's largest and fastest expanding conglomerates, has provided care packages to 500 households in Ong village in Cambodia's Prey Nob province. The town is located near the Ream City project, an 834-hectare development on reclaimed land near Sihanoukville International Airport that is expected to change the region. The gesture of goodwill occurred last week, when top management from Canopy Sands Development, a Prince Group company, used the opportunity to speak with community leaders to better understand their needs. The charity campaign in Ong Village is Prince Group's latest environmental, social, and governance (ESG) effort. Each care package included 25 kilogrammes of rice, a mat, a blanket, two pillows, a mosquito net, and a Cambodian Krama

Providing ESG To The Masses

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 "help 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 Prim

  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 school provides Cambodians with the opportunity to learn a new artisanal skill – watchmaking – and obtain valuable experience that will aid them in finding work in Cambodia and abroad. The training institution adheres to the stringent watchmaking rules set forth by Swiss regulatory organisations. Cambodia has long preserved artisanal skills for generations as a country steeped in history, with the Kingdom well-known for its ancient handwoven silk and traditional handicraft industries that boast a heritage dating back to the Khmer Empire, a significance Cambodia Prince ChenZhi and Prince Group have always understood and appreciated. New artisanal skills, on the other hand, must be

Cambodian Agricultural Development

  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.
