"To be recognised first by Great Place to Work® and now by Fortune as among the 100 best companies to work for in Southeast Asia is a humbling recognition by the leading authorities of workplace culture. This is a tremendous achievement and our appreciation goes to Great Place to Work® and Fortune for recognising the growth of excellent workplace culture in fast emerging Cambodia; to each member of our Naga family this tremendous achievement is an acknowledgement of your hunger for growth and excellence in all your professional and personal endeavours, this distinction belongs to each of you", said Mr. Chen Yiy Fon, Chief Executive Officer & Executive Director of NagaCorp. "As one of Cambodia's earliest and largest foreign direct investors, we have been fortunate to serve a leading role in developing the nation's corporate and economic landscape for thirty years now and counting. By adopting high standards in corporate governance, ethical business and workplace practices, human resource engagement, sustainability and corporate social responsibility, we have been able to inculcate and grow a company culture that is compatible to contribute to this fast-emerging economy. This long-term vision is a cornerstone of our contribution to nation building, creating thousands of quality jobs, fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce, and enhancing Cambodia's appeal on the global stage as an attractive investment destination."

The Fortune recognition highlights NagaCorp's strategic focus on its people, the local communities, and the broader Cambodian society, which serves as the foundation for its operational excellence and social impact. Key pillars of this strategy include:

  • Upholding the Highest Standards of Corporate Governance: The Company maintains a rigorous Code of Conduct and Anti-Corruption Policy, committing to high ethical standards.

金界控股榮登《財富》「2025年東南亞百大最佳僱主™」榜單 躋身地區最佳企業之列

權威認可肯定金界控股作為頂尖僱主的領先地位以及對柬埔寨發展的關鍵貢獻

香港2025年12月3日 /美通社/ -- 湄公河區域領先的綜合式娛樂度假村營運商金界控股有限公司(「金界控股」或「本公司」,港交所股份代號:3918)欣然宣佈,榮登首屆《財富》「東南亞百大最佳僱主™」榜單。金界控股在榜單上排名第46位,作為柬埔寨的領先企業,躋身此項表彰地區內模範職場文化的權威名冊。此項成就使金界控股與希爾頓全球酒店集團及萬豪國際等全球行業領袖並列。

此權威榜單由《財富》與全球職場文化權威機構Great Place To Work®合作編制,於2025年首次發布,主要根據員工的保密反饋編製。此項外部認可,建基於金界控股的附屬公司NagaWorld Limited(「金界娛樂城」)於2025年8月榮獲Great Place To Work®認證™,當時員工給予公司近乎滿分的95%信任指數™評分。

金界控股行政總裁兼執行董事曾羽鋒先生表示:「能夠先後獲得Great Place to Work®及《財富》的認可,躋身東南亞百大最佳僱主之列,是來自頂尖職場文化權威一份令人謙遜的認可。這是一項非凡的成就,我們感謝Great Place to Work®和《財富》對柬埔寨這個快速新興經濟體中卓越職場文化發展的肯定。對於我們金界大家庭的每一位成員而言,這項非凡的成就,是對你們在所有專業和個人追求中對成長和卓越的熱切追求的肯定,這份殊榮屬於你們每一位。作為柬埔寨最早及最大的外國直接投資者之一,我們有幸在過去三十年來,於發展國家企業及經濟格局方面發揮領導作用。透過在企業管治、商業道德及職場實踐、人力資源參與、可持續發展和企業社會責任方面採納高標準,我們得以培養出能為這個快速新興經濟體作出貢獻的企業文化。這份長遠願景是我們對國家建設貢獻的基石,為當地創造了數以千計的優質就業機會,培養了多元共融的勞動力,並增強了柬埔寨作為一個具吸引力的投資目的地,在全球舞台上的吸引力。」

《財富》的認可凸顯金界控股對其員工、當地社區及廣大柬埔寨社會的策略式重視,這正是其卓越營運及社會影響力的基礎。此策略的關鍵支柱包括:

  • 恪守最高標準的企業管治:公司維持嚴格的《行為準則》和《反腐敗政策》,致力於崇高的道德標準;並堅守穩健的《反洗錢》框架,包括獨立審查、員工培訓和嚴格的內部監控。持續的透明度和問責制度,贏得了股東、監管機構和外國投資者的信任。
  • 投資當地社區:自2014年以來,公司透過其企業社會責任倡議「NagaWorld Kind Hearts」,已組織超過1,160項社區活動,員工貢獻超過58,000個志願服務時數,惠及近900,000名柬埔寨民眾。
  • 支持青年教育:相關舉措已覆蓋超過160所學校和非政府組織,派發了逾180,000份學習材料和230套電腦設備,總共為超過240,000名學生的未來成功裝備自己。
  • 推動環境可持續發展:長期致力於支持柬埔寨的氣候目標及建設綠色未來。由員工驅動的項目,如2018年啟動的「綠色柬埔寨:植樹計劃」,已在11個省份種植超過32,000棵樹苗,並為64所學校及非政府組織舉辦35場環保工作坊。
  • 弘揚柬埔寨文化遺產與民族自豪感:金界娛樂城為慶祝成立30週年,舉辦為期一個月、共28場的系列活動,旨在實現雙重目標:讓超過180,000名市民參與社區發展(主題包括:國家、教育、醫療、環境、社區),並透過向逾7,000名賓客展示柬埔寨的文化遺產,推廣該國作為旅遊目的地。
