On the Inside
Social
At Big Image, we believe in fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where every colleague feels valued. To enhance interpersonal connections and cross-cultural understanding, we regularly hold a "this is me fika," a twenty-minute session where team members can exchange conversations. This initiative not only strengthens our work culture but also serves as a platform for those learning languages and other cultures. We prioritize sustainability in our social events, one way we achieve this is by cooking our own food and minimizing the use of disposable items. In the same spirit we also offer amenities such as organic and fair-trade coffee, tea and fruits.

From providing equipment assistance, such as loading large textile rolls into machines, to enhancing workplace ergonomics with soft carpets in both the office and production areas.
