Leading Ways To Combat Difficulties Of Pandemic

 


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. This follows Chen Zhi's initial US$3 million donation in December to assist Cambodia in purchasing COVID-19 vaccines.

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 Cambodia.

While the Cambodian government has provided unprecedented assistance, accounting for 5% of GDP to date and totaling $1.16 billion, Prince Group recognises that private enterprises must also play an important role in the post-pandemic recovery.

The latest donation is part of Prince Group's overall environment, social, and governance (ESG) strategy for member companies. Chen Zhi's US$3 million donation will help the Cambodian government reach its target of vaccinating at least 80 percent of the population, or nearly 13 million people, demonstrating the Group's commitment to social responsibilities in Cambodia. Furthermore, Prince Real Estate has donated a total of 16,080 kilogrammes of rice, 804 boxes of noodles, 804 cartons of fish sauce, and 804 cartons of soy sauce to households, as well as 500 cartons of purified water and 200 cartons of soft drinks for 234 police officers who have been working tirelessly across 33 locations in Chamkarmon District, an area that has been severely impacted by an outbreak of Covid-19 infections near the Prince Group headquarters.

“As a Group striving to improve the lives of local communities in Cambodia, it is our civic duty to partner with District Governor Theng So Thol and the Chamkarmon District Government. The community outbreak has affected the lives of many people in the district, and we believe that prompt and decisive action will make a key difference in ensuring a robust recovery for communities,” said Mr. Steven Wang, Chief Executive Officer of Prince Real Estate.

This is just one of many initiatives that Prince Group has organised in an efficient and timely manner over the last two years.

Last month, Prince Charitable Foundation, the charitable arm of Prince Group, distributed care packages to 500 families living in Ong village in Cambodia's Prey Nob district, near the site of the Ream City project, a US$16 billion, 843-hectare development on reclaimed land near the Sihanoukville International Airport. The Ream City project is set to transform the region, but Prince Group is keeping local communities in mind, holding consultations with local leaders to better understand their communities' future needs.

Prince Group will continue to assist Cambodians by delivering essential materials to those in need, implementing key community initiatives, and collaborating with socially responsible partners across the Kingdom in order to empower local communities.

Cambodia Artisanal Skills Project

  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 (陈志公爵) 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

ESG Principles Applied

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 (陈志公爵) was the driving force behind the donations. Chen Zhi and PHG, for example, donated US$3 million to Prime Minister Hun Se
