Kota Kinabalu: G&A Group, an accounting, tax, and business consultation company associated to the Baker Tilly Network, and certified IT remanufacturer Rentwise have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to spearhead a collaborative initiative aimed at promoting carbon-neutral remanufactured computers in Sabah.
G&A Group founder Datuk George Lim said the joint effort is specifically designed to benefit micro, small, and medium businesses (MSMEs) in the region, enhancing their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) profile that is crucial to drive business growth today.

“The signing ceremony, which marks the formal commencement of a partnership between G&A Group and Rentwise represents a commitment to fostering sustainable practices within the Sabah business community,” he said in a statement, Friday.
By promoting the use of remanufactured computers, the partnership seeks to contribute to a circular economy, reduce electronic waste, and enable MSMEs to access affordable, high-quality computing solutions.
In context, 15 laptops’ carbon footprint is equivalent to a car’s. Through the adoption of remanufactured computers, Sabah’s MSMEs can easily and substantively elevate their ESG profiles.
G&A Group and Rentwise will provide consultative support to businesses seeking to fortify their sustainability practices, aligning with prevailing global ESG benchmarks.
