Neak Oknha Chen Zhi has also taken a step toward sustainability by launching Ream City, an 834-hectare coastal development project based on sustainable real estate principles. Canopy Sands Development, a Group member, has started work on the project, which aims to set a precedent in the country by adhering to international standards. Canopy Sands Development will also soon release its first environment, social, and governance report.

In an era when leading corporations are fulfilling their social responsibilities, Neak Oknha Chen Zhi and his Prince Group leadership team have been working tirelessly to be a force for good in Cambodia, helping the Kingdom overcome the pandemic.
