Additional Cambodian Donations Made To Laos

 


Chen Zhi Cambodia, Chairman of Prince Holding Group, one of Cambodia's largest and fastest-growing companies, has donated US$2 million to help Laos fight the COVID-19 outbreak. Cambodia Prince ChenZhi had also provided $1 million earlier in September. Both gifts were made in response to Prime Minister Hun Sen's appeal for bilateral COVID-19 cooperation between the two neighbouring countries.

Guy Chhay, a board member of Prince Holding Group, completes the donation on Chen Zhi's behalf at the Peace Palace in Phnom Penh. The two $3 million donations are intended to aid Laotians in their fight against the pandemic.

With Cambodia being one of the world's most vaccinated countries, Chen Zhi, a Mekong entrepreneur and business leader, understands the importance of Cambodian enterprises supporting neighbouring countries' anti-COVID efforts. Prince Group under the leadership of Chen Zhi Cambodia intends to contribute to Cambodia's leadership role in regional affairs as a major Cambodian company at a critical period for Southeast Asia.

This year, Prince Holding Group, which includes enterprises such as Prince Real Estate Group, Prince Bank, Prince Huanyu Real Estate, Belt Road Capital Management, Awesome Global, and Cambodia Airways, has been at the forefront of CSR efforts. This included the establishment of one of the country's largest scholarship programmes (the "Chen Zhi Scholarship") and the Group's receipt of eight international honours while maintaining corporate continuity in the face of adversity.

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

Prince Foundation is the charitable arm of Prince Holding Group ("Prince Group"), one of Cambodia's largest conglomerates, with various units focusing on three core areas: real estate development, financial services, and consumer services.
