SPORTS DEVELOPMENT

Funded by NagaCorp, we formed a partnership with National Olympic Committee of Cambodia (“NOCC”) and Union of Youth Federations of Cambodia (“UYFC”) to promote healthy lifestyles, support our Cambodian contingents, and unearth talented youth for our national team to represent Cambodia at major sporting events – benefitting 75,000 Cambodians.

ENVIRONMENTAL CARE

NagaWorld has always sought to operate in a responsible, transparent and sustainable way. As part of our sustainability efforts, we aim to minimise our risk and negative impact on the environment. Thus, we support our Government in creating a tourist-friendly destination and in tandem raise awareness about environmental issues overall – for a better world. Our world. For us, and our children.

Our process of “evaluation for improvement” ensures we achieve sustainable growth beyond generating profits.

On-going evaluation processes ensure we create a positive impact on our environment and local communities. Our consecutive wins of prestigious awards, notably the Stevie Awards for two years running, demonstrate we are moving in the right direction. We are committed to further contributing to Cambodia, in line with our motto, "We Serve Cambodia."

Testimonials:
Rotha, Maintenance Department – beneficiary of “Children@Risk Programme”

“This programme has transformed my life from a boy who was about to drop out of school due to financial challenges in my family, to a boy with an opportunity for a bright future. This sponsorship enabled me to complete my High School by covering study expenses and supporting my family’s living needs.

During my Internship, I gained knowledge and experience from senior team members and Supervisors. Not only did I receive accommodation, meals and health insurance, but I also got a monthly allowance that helped me a lot with my tuition.”
