Their main task is to maintain membership in international organizations on accreditation and handle public relations.
What was the inspiration behind your design?
Our design reflects the universe of quality, where accreditation symbolizes movement along the optimal orbit for humanity. And just as the Earth cannot move out of its orbit, so moving through the orbit of accreditation consistently, step by step and day by day, empowers humanity and shapes a better future for people.
Accreditation is a new opportunity on a global scale, a chance for humanity to make the earth a source of clean water, tasty organic products, quality housing and sustainable legal norms. Through new accreditation schemes according to GLOBALG.A.P. and Organic standards, the food basket of mankind becomes tasty and healthy; through quality assurance in such areas as housing and transport, comfortable life and high mobility of people are ensured; through quality management systems, quality is ensured in all spheres of life for the sake of peace and happiness of those living on earth.
How does your poster illustrate this year’s theme?
The universe of accreditation is the pathway to the new goals of zero hunger, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, industry, innovation and infrastructure and others called for in the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2, 6, 7,9, 11, 16 and 17.
• The clean water of the world’s oceans is represented on the globe in pure colours that evoke light associations.
• Ecological products that are produced in the green fields of the continents are represented as tender sprouts reaching for the sun.
• Sustainable development of the housing sector is represented as a construction site.
• Aeroplanes resembling paper planes from childhood, embodying children’s faith in goodness and a happy future, represent fast, comfortable and safe transport.
• A mobile phone, maps icon, and Wi-Fi represent the digital technologies that contribute to fair and effective social and public institutions.
Together, all these opportunities, the doors to which accreditation opens, are needed today more than ever by humanity and our common home – planet Earth.
