BigBloc Construction Ltd celebrated World Green Building Week 2022 with CII – IGBC; Planted Neem and Karen Trees

World Green Building Week 2022 was celebrated during 12-16 September 2022 and aimed to accelerate the Sustainable Development Goals and Sustainable Built Environments for everyone, everywhere. The theme for 2022 was #BuildingforEveryone. During the week-long celebrations, CII’s Indian Green Building Council organised programs including an e-waste management campaign, a visit to a green building, a video campaign, awareness camps, a walkathon, cyclothon etc. According to the World Health Organization, air pollution kills over seven million people a year. 

Commenting on the development, Mr. Narayan Saboo, Chairman & Managing Director, Bigbloc Construction Ltd, said, “Loss of green cover has an immeasurable effect. Trees act as the lungs of the planet, absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere, retaining carbon and releasing oxygen. Every tree destroyed leads to more CO2 emissions and the destruction of one of our greatest allies in the fight against climate change. As a part of our commitment to the environment and being socially responsible, BigBloc Construction has initiated the tree plantation drive.”
