Dialogue with Stakeholders

Content Block - Dialogue with Stakeholders

The Moncler Group places great importance to maintain a constant and solid relationship with all its stakeholders.

Stakeholders represent a wide range of different interests: establishing and maintaining stable, long-lasting relationships based on ongoing dialogue and active engagement is crucial for the creation of shared, long-term value.

By understanding the specific expectations of the various categories of stakeholders, Moncler and Stone Island are able to understand their needs, anticipate potential critical issues and guide their own actions and plans more effectively. Precisely identifying their stakeholders and organising the most effective channels, while constantly monitoring their expectations and opinions, are the starting point for setting up a robust engagement process.

Through dedicated functions, the Group pursues a proactive approach to 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 mutual opportunities for growth and enrichment. In recent years, the Group has been committed to redesigning new approaches to dialogue, with the aim of interacting with its community with an increasingly digital native approach.

In 2025, some stakeholder groups, particularly employees, workers’ representatives, investors and analysts, trade associations and non-governmental organisations, were involved in the performance of the double materiality analysis to determine the materiality of the main impacts related to sustainability matters.

The following table shows the stakeholder map, the interaction channels and the main expectations, and is updated periodically through internal surveys with the company departments responsible for daily management of relations with each specific category.

Relations with organisations, institutions and associations

The Moncler Group believes in dialogue and collaboration and takes part in multiple organisations, associations and working group at both national and international level, with a contribution of about 650,000 euros (700,000 euros in 2024). There are various areas of activity, ranging from the promotion of Italian fashion and its sustainability initiatives to the fight against counterfeiting, the protection of the Brand, the promotion of female talent, support for innovation and support in formulating changes in national and international regulations.

 

Below are the main associations in which the Group participates:

By participating in the aforementioned associations and others, the Group is committed to supporting some particularly important topics for its business and the industry, such as, for example, membership of associations involved in industrial and production topics in the fashion industry, with a contribution of over 150,000 euros, and associations involved in ESG (environmental, social and governance) topics, with a contribution of around 355,000 euros.

Moncler in support of associations to fight against climate change

The Group is aware of the importance of building partnerships and collaborations with academia, civil society, institutions and businesses with the aim of joining forces and creating new synergies to fight climate change. In this regard, over the last few years it has joined associations working in this area, including: The Fashion Pact, a coalition that includes among its main objectives the fight against climate change and that is committed to train, inform and supportits member companies in the processes of transformation and innovation required to reduce their environmental impacts; Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, which is engaged in advocacy activities with all Italian brands to promote a responsible fashion approach that is based, among others, on principles for reducing the environmental impact of business activities and respect for human rights; Fondazione Altagamma, which promotes the reduction of environmental impact among its members; and Re.Crea, a consortium founded to responsibly organise the management of end-of-life textile and fashion products and to promote the research and development of innovative recycling solutions. By joining these associations in all the countries in which it operates, the Moncler Group takes a position aligned with the principles set out in its Environmental Policy, which is inspired by the 2015 Paris Agreement, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the European Green Deal, the Global Compact and the objectives described in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Chief Marketing & Corporate Strategy Officer is responsible for effective application of these principles and periodically updates, together with the Sustainability Unit, the Control, Risks and Sustainability Committee. The Sustainability Unit also has to monitor, on a constant basis, the alignment of the commitments of these associations with those of the Group. Moncler believes that this alignment is essential to the collective achievement of the challenging goals that these associations have set for themselves and is committed to proactively promoting its environmental goals in the event of any misalignment with the associations of which it is a member.

UN Sustainable Development Goals

As a multinational Group that firmly believes in sustainability, the Moncler Group is committed to contributing to the achievement of the goals published in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development signed by the 193 member states of the United Nations (UN). The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out the priorities for contributing to global development, promoting human wellbeing, and protecting the environment. The SDGs call for joint global action between governments, businesses, and society, and aim at mobilising all efforts around a common set of goals to be achieved by 2030.

Of the 17 macro objectives described in the SDGs (such as ending poverty, fighting inequality and tackling climate change), the Group contributes to twelve of them directly or through organisations with which it collaborates. The targets related to the SDGs are clearly indicated in the Sustainability Plan.

The Fashion Pact

Moncler considers collaboration and different experiences to be fundamental values to achieve common objectives, not only in the creative sphere, but also for responsible and sustainable development. Since 2019, Moncler has been a member of The Fashion Pact, a coalition of leading global companies of the fashion and textile industry that, together with suppliers and distributors, promotes a shared commitment to environmental priorities. Over the years, The Fashion Pact has revised and updated its strategy, adopting a more structured, implementation-orientated approach to operations along the entire value chain.

The current strategy focuses in particular on the protection and restoration of biodiversity, recognising the need to go beyond merely reducing negative impacts and to actively contribute to the regeneration of natural ecosystems. At the same time, it supports actions aimed at reducing the environmental impact of production processes, with a particular focus on the most energy-intensive phases, and seeks to encourage the use of materials with a lower environmental impact, from the earliest stages of the supply chain. One further priority area is the transition to energy from renewable sources, considered essential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout the supply chain of the fashion industry.

 

Within The Fashion Pact, Moncler is present both on the Steering Committee, a committee of various the CEOs of member brands, which aims to maintain a dialogue between company executives, sharing ideas, guidelines and progress, and on the Operations Committee, the body that identifies the actions, working groups and awareness-raising activities to be implemented in order to achieve the priorities set by the Steering Committee.
