Support to scientific research
Moncler has always believed in research and innovation as key drivers for continuous development and improvement. This belief even stretches beyond the Company boundaries. Moncler is committed to ensuring that research is constantly supported, also in medical and scientific sectors, and therefore actively supports researchers through grants and scholarships. In 2025, around 300,000 euros were donated for scholarships and grants to support researchers from the Umberto Veronesi Foundation and for donations supporting various associations and foundations, including the Città della Speranza Foundation, the Vidas Foundation and the European Institute of Oncology (IEO).
UMBERTO VERONESI FOUNDATION
The Umberto Veronesi Foundation was established in 2003 to promote scientific oncological research, prevention campaigns, health education and scientific dissemination. Scientific research is supported through research grants for doctors and researchers in the most advanced fields of oncology. Since its establishment, the Foundation has funded more than 2,500 doctors and scientists engaged in cutting-edge scientific projects and over 150 research projects. Moreover, the Foundation is active in the field of scientific divulgation through conferences, projects with schools, awareness-raising campaigns and publications.
Since 2013, Moncler has supported scientific research on female cancers and has helped to promote the importance of prevention. Also in 2025, Moncler supported a researcher from the Umberto Veronesi Foundation, engaged in the study of breast cancer. Moncler also continued to support the Foundation in its commitment to paediatric oncology, contributing to the creation of the Italian PALM (Paediatric Acute Leukemia of Myeloid origin) network, an international research and treatment project coordinated by the Bambin Gesù Paediatric Hospital, aimed at the first clinical trial in Europe of the gene therapy using CAR-NK cells and the development of new diagnostic methods for acute myeloid leukaemia, a highly aggressive blood cancer that affects around 70 children a year in Italy.
Lastly, to promote research into the effects of climate change on the environment, since 2022 Moncler has been supporting a research project by the Umberto Veronesi Foundation on the adaptability of certain plant species to less favourable climatic conditions. The study focuses in particular on identifying the mechanisms used by specific varieties of cotton to survive or optimise growth in drought conditions. The goal of the research is to understand how to improve the resilience of selected species for agriculture in a less favourable environmental scenario and with limited water resources.
