[Kota Kinabalu, 31st January] G & A Group, a premier accounting, tax, and business consultation company associated to the Baker Tilly Network, and Rentwise, a certified IT remanufacturer, proudly announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to spearhead a collaborative initiative aimed at promoting carbon-neutral remanufactured computers in Sabah. This 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 this groundbreaking partnership between G & A Group and Rentwise represents a commitment to fostering sustainable practices within the Sabah business community. 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.
Dato George Lim, the founder of G & A Group, expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “We believe that this partnership with Rentwise is a significant step toward promoting sustainable and responsible business practices in Sabah. By leveraging our expertise in accounting and business consultation, combined with Rentwise’s computer remanufacturing capabilities, we aim to empower MSMEs to make environmentally conscious choices while optimizing their operational efficiency.”
Mr. Lanz Boo, Commercial Director of Rentwise, echoed these sentiments, saying, “Rentwise is proud to collaborate with G & A Group in this endeavour. Our commitment to remanufacturing aligns perfectly with G & A Group’s vision for sustainable business practices. Together, we look forward to making a positive impact on the business landscape in Sabah.”
The momentous occasion was witnessed by Datuk Roland Chia Ming Shen, Political Secretary to the Chief Minister of Sabah, Mr. Patrick Chiam, Chairman of the Malaysia Entrepreneurs’ Development Association (Persatuan Usahawan Maju Malaysia – PUMM) in Sabah, and his Secretary General, Mr. Daniel Dea.
