BigBloc Construction, a leading manufacturer of Aerated Autoclaved Concrete (AAC) Blocks and Panels in India, has launched its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Profile on the ESG World platform. The move underscores the company’s commitment to sustainability, governance transparency, and responsible business practices.

Accessible via the company’s website under the ‘Sustainability’ section, the ESG Profile provides real-time access to key ESG data for investors, analysts, ESG rating agencies, and financial institutions, aligned with global benchmarks.

“BigBloc Constructions has always been an environment-conscious company, coming up with sustainable solutions. The ESG World platform gives our stakeholders a transparent, real-time view of our ESG strategy, goals, and performance,” said Mohit Saboo, Director, BigBloc Construction. “This move aligns us further with global sustainability benchmarks and reflects our long-term vision to create value for all stakeholders.”

The ESG World platform compiles sustainability-related disclosures from official sources such as annual reports and shareholder communications, offering a downloadable, continually updated ESG profile.

On the sustainability front, BigBloc has a total installed solar power capacity of 2,375 kW across the company and its subsidiaries, meeting approximately 22 per cent of its power needs through renewable sources.

Looking ahead, BigBloc—through subsidiary Starbigbloc Building Material—has acquired land in Madhya Pradesh to expand its AAC blocks business in central India. With the upgraded Umargaon plant operational and AAC wall panel production stabilised, the company is poised to benefit from a rebound in construction activity.
