Initiatives for the social and economic development of communities
Moncler is committed to contributing to the well-being of the community in which it operates, both by promoting independent projects, and by supporting organisations working in the social sphere on issues such as young people assistance, diversity and inclusion, and the spread of a culture of respect for the environment.
Young people and their future have always been a key concern for Moncler, which for many years has been supporting struggling young people to provide them with access to medical care, an adequate level of education and a clear growth path, through cooperation with associations and foundations such as Francesca Rava – N.P.H., Dynamo Camp, Comunità San Patrignano, and, since 2024, the TOG Foundation (“Together to Go”). In 2025, Moncler also strengthened its commitment through new collaborations with organizations active in the health sector, including the Theodora Foundation, supporting the Visit Programmes, initiatives involving specially trained professionals who provide emotional support and respite care to hospitalised children and their families in different hospitals, and the Città della Speranza Foundation, contributing to the purchase of equipment for the treatment of pediatric oncology and autoimmune diseases.
Another issue that is of great importance to the Moncler Group is diversity, equity and inclusion. The Group is aware of how discrimination can pose a threat to the community while at the same time recognizing the importance of fostering a sense of welcome and valuing of diversity. For this reason, it implements several initiatives aimed at promoting an increasingly inclusive culture through donations to organisations, including Yolk, the LeBron James Foundation and the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana (CNMI) for the CNMI Fashion Trust initiative, which aims to support and promote emerging talent in the fashion industry. In addition, in 2025 Moncler collaborated with the Shanghai Fashion Design Association (SFDA), sponsoring two scholarships to support the development and promotion of young creatives.
Moncler also supports activities and projects related to the protection and preservation of the environment. In particular, in recent years the Company has supported the Ev-K2-CNR Association’s Keep Karakorum Clean and Keep K2 Clean initiatives, aimed at cleaning up the mountains, and has developed a voluntary project with Legambiente to reduce plastic use and promote plastic recycling.
TOG FOUNDATION
The TOG Foundation was established with the aim of providing specialised care to children with complex neurological conditions. Over the years, it has become a centre of excellence in the field of rehabilitation, education and school guidance for children with these disabilities, also offering support to their families.
A pioneer in the use of innovative technologies to promote the motor, cognitive and communicative development of children, the TOG Foundation, with the support of Moncler, has been able to further develop the study and application of Eye-tracking. This technology enables communication for children or young people with verbal difficulties or severe neurological conditions, who would otherwise be unable to express themselves, helping to improve their quality of life and rehabilitation pathways. To date, 15 children use two Eye-tracking devices at the TOG centre.
With the aim of integrating this advanced technology into the homes of families and thus into the daily lives of children, fostering communication and cognitive development for an increasing number, Moncler has been supporting a two-year project entitled “Communicating, playing, learning: a new Eye-tracking for children with complex neurological diseases”, since 2024. Thanks to this project, four more devices used on a rotating basis by children have been added, with the aim of promoting their prescription and individual purchase through the National Health Service; two more machines supplied within the TOG Centre have also been added to offer an assessment service that is also accessible to children not monitored by the Foundation. At the same time, from 2026 the TOG Foundation will conduct research on the impact of this technology.
EV-K2-CNR ASSOCIATION
Ev-K2-CNR is a recognised, not-for-profit association that promotes international cooperation and social and environmental development projects, as well as scientific research activities in mountain regions. The association’s activity, which is also carried out in collaboration with international organisations such as the UNDP (United Nations Development Programme), the WMO (World Meteorological Organization), the ICIMOD (International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development), the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) and the UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme), as well as local organisations, focuses on studying and monitoring climate change, climate change adaptation measures, safeguarding biodiversity and the development of mountain populations. Among the results achieved by the association is the creation of important nature conservation and protection areas, such as the Central Karakoram National Park and the Deosai National Park, as well as the ecological corridor that connects them, an area that covers more than 16,000 km² in total, benefiting around 300,000 people.
United by a passion and respect for mountains, EvK2CNR and Moncler have been collaborating since 2014 to promote programmes for the restoration of degraded glacial areas and environmental regeneration and education initiatives, such as Keep Karakorum Clean and Keep K2 Clean. Thanks to these initiatives, developed in collaboration with local institutions and populations, the base camps are annually cleared of waste, including that released by the melting of the glaciers, and returned to their natural condition. Thanks to the collaboration with the authorities of the Central Karakorum National Park (CKNP) and Gilgit-Baltistan Province (Pakistan), a waste separation and collection system was established and further expanded in 2025, allowing for the collection of over 43 tonnes of solid and organic waste during the year. These activities were carried out by CKNP staff supported by local entities, while environmental education activities to raise awareness among the Pakistani workers on the importance of preserving parks and glaciers and to strengthen nature protection projects in the region, were continued by EvK2CNR in close cooperation with the government of Gilgit-Baltistan (Pakistan), stakeholders and the local population.
Finally, the One Health initiative, a system of laboratories dedicated to studying and safeguarding the health of nature and animals, continued. In particular, thanks to the collaboration with Moncler, within the Water 4 Development project, supported by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation and carried out by EvK2CNR Italy in partnership with the UNDP, specific laboratories focused on glaciology and water quality were activated in 2025 at the Karakorum International University and on animal and plant health monitoring at the University of Baltistan.
