Initiatives Of ESG

Image
  COVID-19 has emphasised the critical nature of environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) practises in businesses worldwide. However, there was talk of change even prior to the pandemic's outbreak. The Business Roundtable (a group of 181 CEOs of America's largest corporations) stated last year that businesses must "support 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 largest conglomerates, recognised this and paved the way for other businesses in the Kingdom to follow ESG principles. Since April, the Group has made several large-scale donations 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 donations. For instance, in early December, Chen Zhi and PHG donated US$3 million to

Sustainability Of Agriculture For Cambodia

Image
  The COVID-19 pandemic has caused basic assumptions in different industries to be re-examined around the world. Environmental conservation is now a key component of Cambodia's agriculture sector recovery efforts, and Neak Oknha Chen Zhi and Prince Group Cambodia are leading the charge. According to CGIAR, the world's largest agricultural research network, agriculture is a mainstay in Cambodia, employing more than a third of the workforce, and the current crisis presents an opportunity for the sector to "build back better." Traditional farming practises that use fertilisers, pesticides, water-intensive processes, and legacy farming methods that lead to increased deforestation and soil erosion must be phased out in developing countries like Cambodia. Chen Zhi and Prince Group Cambodia launched the Ecological Agriculture Plantation at Prince Manor Resort in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, earlier this year, a cutting-edge agricultural hub at a new real estate development that wi
