THE NEW MONCLER INVESTOR RELATIONS APP IS NOW AVAILABLE
The Moncler Group considers it very important to maintain a constant and solid relationship with all its stakeholders. A relationship based on ongoing dialogue and active involvement is the expression of the Group’s responsibility towards the social context with which it interacts.
Stakeholders represent a wide range of different interests: establishing and maintaining stable, long-lasting relationships is crucial for the creation of shared, long-term value.
Understanding specific needs and priorities, allows Moncler and Stone Island to manage in advance the rise of potential critical issues and to refine the actions in response to stakeholder interests. Identifying their stakeholders in a precise way and organising the most effective channels, constantly monitoring their expectations, needs and opinions, are the starting point for setting up an effective engagement process.
Through dedicated functions, the Group pursues a proactive approach towards the many stakeholders with which it constantly interacts around the world, promoting constant dialogue and embracing their needs. Both Brands are aware that these occasions for dialogue are opportunities for mutual growth and enrichment. Over the past few years, the Group has been committed to designing new approaches to dialogue with the aim of interacting with its community in an increasingly digital native way.
