PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA 3 May 2024 – Prince Holding Group, one of Cambodia’s leading business groups, has been honored with the Platinum Award at the 16th Annual Global CSR & ESG Summit and Awards. This accolade, recognizing Prince Holding Group as “Best in Cambodia” for Country Excellence, underscores its steadfast commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR).

On the cultural front, the Foundation has sponsored events to preserve Cambodia’s heritage, such as the American Chamber of Commerce in Cambodia’s Charity Gala Dinner, which raised funds for the repatriation of Cambodian antiquities.
