The FCC Phnom Penh has an earnest commitment to carbon neutrality.  By monitoring and reducing thier carbon emissions as well as investing in cardon offsets, the FCC is setting a precedent as one of the first businesses in Cambodia to completely offset its ommission through working with GERES.

FCC Cambodia aims to give something back to the community they operate within and are proud to support the following organisations:

Cambodia Rugby

In January 2000, at the initiative of a small group of expatriate players, Khmer rugby was established with kids from an NGO, Pour un Sourire d'Enfant, "For A Child's Smile", caring for children living on the rubbish dumps of Phnom Penh.

The kids' passion for the game led The Secrétaire-Générale of the National Commission for UNESCO, Mrs. Tan Theany, to propose that this be included in the 'Associated Schools Program' of UNESCO in Cambodia.

Since that time other shelters and schools have been established in various parts of Cambodia following the same model established in Phnom Penh and rugby has now become an institutionalised part of UNESCO's program activities in Cambodia.

Family Care Cambodia

The goal of Family Care Cambodia is to improve the quality of life for orphans and abandoned children in Phnom Penh. They provide educational materials and motivational programs in institutions, schools and hospitals, both government and private, in effort to improve the educational development of Cambodian youth as well as provide training and educational materials for local teachers and educators.
