[SCB Asia @SCBAsia]

We’re thrilled to unveil a unified visual identity for #CACNepal2026! Inspired by our theme, “Harmonising Biodiversity & Human Well-Being in Asia,” we collaborated with brilliant homegrown Nepali designers to ground our vision in local creativity. 🌿

Form meets function with a purpose.

We’ve transitioned to a modular, reusable, and biodegradable design system for #CACNepal2026. Moving away from single-use materials, our visuals reflect a conscious, eco-friendly approach to event planning. #ConservationAsia
