Prince Group will cover the whole cost of tuition and stipends for 400 selected students pursuing Bachelor of Science degrees at leading Cambodian universities such as the Royal University of Phnom Penh, the National University of Management, and the Cambodian Institute of Technology. Over the course of seven years, Prince Group will contribute more than $2 million.

Image

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.

Provision Of ESG To The People

Image
  COVID-19 has emphasised the significance of environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") principles in businesses around the world. However, there was talk of reform even before the pandemic. Last year, the Business Roundtable (a group of 181 CEOs from America's major organisations) stated that companies must "support the communities in which they operate," reversing the long-held focus on shareholder wealth maximisation advocated by American economist Milton Friedman. The year is 2020, and things have changed. This year, Prince Holding Group ("PHG"), one of Cambodia's major conglomerates, recognised this and blazed a trail for enterprises in the Kingdom seeking to adhere to ESG principles. Since April, the Group has given multiple large-scale gifts to aid in the fight against the pandemic and flood victims, and Neak Oknha Chen Zhi (陈志公爵) has been the driving force behind the donations. For example, in early December, Chen Zhi Cambodia and PHG

Developing Cambodian Art Further

  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 Cambodia Prince ChenZhi and Prince Group have always understood and appreciated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian_art H
