The world's largest premium prints for studios and streaming services, with sustainability used as a business model - and Fortnox wired straight into Atmoz for live emissions.
Founded in 1987, Big Image set out to transform stage design by printing backdrops in large format on fabric instead of sketching them on paper. The idea was met with scepticism, so the team built the first digital printer for fabric themselves - laying the foundation for an entirely new industry. Today the company produces the world's largest premium prints for studio backdrops used by leading streaming services, theatres and film productions, with around SEK 130m in annual turnover and fully self-financed operations.
At the turn of the millennium, Big Image moved into retail communication and exhibitions, where products had shorter lifespans than in theatre and film - the start of its sustainability journey. By 2010 the company had developed fabrics from recycled polyester, achieved ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification, and run its first emissions calculation. The data made the picture clear: 94 percent of impact came from fabric production and transport. From there, real action could start.
Most fabrics are produced in China and made from certified PET bottles, with quality assured through annual unannounced factory visits. Big Image also recycles its textile waste and has partnered with a Spanish company that can recycle polyester fabrics at industrial scale - a step toward a more circular solution for textile production.
For Big Image, ISO 9001 and 14001 aren't framed certificates - they are a driver of change. Fewer errors mean less waste, fewer resources used and higher quality. The company has reduced waste, cut costs and accelerated change in production. But the biggest gain has been on the revenue side: customers who take their own sustainability goals seriously are willing to pay more to work with a supplier that shares the focus.
Over the past 15 years, Big Image has used its sustainability work as an active part of its sales strategy. The company presents its GHG report - built in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol - to customers, clearly showing how it can help them meet or exceed their own climate targets. The strategy has helped Big Image win tenders where sustainability matters, and walk away from those where it doesn't.
After a decade of manual data collection and Excel-based calculations, Big Image wanted a more automated and transparent way to manage its climate data. It connected Fortnox directly to the Atmoz emissions engine, enabling automatic data retrieval and categorisation - and a continuous, data-driven view of impact rather than an annual report in retrospect.
The Swedish publishing house realised early that meaningful reductions had to start outside its own walls - and built one of the most systematic Scope 3 programmes in the sector.
