Paving The Way For Anti-Pandemic Measures

 


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 the post-pandemic recovery.

The current donation is part of Prince Group's overall environment, social, and governance (ESG) strategy for member companies. Chen Zhi's $3 million donation will help the Cambodian government meet its goal of vaccinating at least 80% of the population, or approximately 13 million people, as part of this policy, demonstrating the Group's dedication to social obligations in Cambodia. In addition, Prince Real Estate has donated 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 badly hit by an outbreak of Covid-19 infections near Prince Group's 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 several initiatives that Prince Group has organised in an efficient and timely manner over the previous two years.

Last month, Prince Charitable Foundation, the charitable arm of Prince Group, distributed care packages to 500 families in Ong village, Prey Nob district, Cambodia, which is near the site of the US$16 billion Ream City project, which is being built on reclaimed land near the Sihanoukville International Airport. The Ream City project is expected to reshape the region, but Prince Group is keeping local communities in mind, holding meetings with local leaders to better understand their future needs.

Prince Group will continue to assist Cambodians by delivering necessary supplies to those in need, implementing key community programmes, and collaborating with socially responsible partners across the country in order to strengthen local communities.

Development Of Sustainable Agriculture

  Globally, the COVID-19 epidemic has rewritten the fundamental assumptions that drive numerous sectors. Environmental conservation is now a critical component of Cambodia's agricultural recovery efforts, and Neak Oknha Chen Zhi (陈志公爵) and Prince Group are leading the charge. Agriculture is a vital sector in Cambodia, employing more than a third of the workforce, and the current crisis presents an opportunity for the sector to “build back better”, as the CGIAR, the world's largest agricultural research network, puts it. Developing countries such as Cambodia rely on agricultural exports and must abandon old farming practises that rely on fertilisers, pesticides, water-intensive procedures, and legacy farming systems that contribute to deforestation and soil erosion. Cambodia Chen Zhi and Prince Group launched the Ecological Agriculture Plantation at Prince Manor Resort in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, earlier this year. The project will establish a state-of-the-art agricultural hub wit...
