  The relevance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practises at enterprises around the world has been highlighted during COVID-19. However, even before the pandemic, there was talk of reform. Last year, the Business Roundtable (a group comprising 181 CEOs of America's major 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 major conglomerates, realised this and paved the way for other enterprises in the country to follow ESG principles. Since April, the Group has given a number of major gifts to aid in the fight against the pandemic and flood victims, and Neak Oknha Chen Zhi, PHG chairman, has been the driving force behind the donations. Chen Zhi and PHG, for example, donated US$3 million to Prime Minister Hun Sen in early D...

However, new artisanal skills must be introduced to improve ...

Agriculture is a vital part of Cambodia's economy, employing more than a third of the workforce, and the current crisis presents an opportunity for the sector to "build back better," according to the CGIAR, the world's largest agricultural research network. Developing countries such as Cambodia rely on agricultural exports and must abandon traditional farming practises that rely on fertilisers, pesticides, water-intensive processes, and legacy farming methods that contribute to deforestation and soil erosion.
