The Moncler Group is committed to reduce packaging materials as well as to research and to adopt lower-impact alternatives.
In 2021 a Manual was adopted at Group level, setting out guidelines for the selection of materials with the lower impact to be used for the packaging, as well as in the elements used in the stores and shop windows, with the aim of orienting all the functions within Moncler and Stone Island that design and select such elements.

The guidelines contained in the manual are inspired by the following principles:
• reducing the amount of materials used
• simplifying the structure of products with a view to eco-design by favouring mono-material or easily-disassembled articles to promote reuse and recyclability
• reducing the use of virgin raw materials, especially if from fossil origin, by favouring materials from renewable sources or recycling
• designing items that can be used for a long time, re-used and recycled

• selecting materials that have a validated sustainability performance supported by documentary evidence and measurements, and, where possible, certified
• using only materials that comply with the Group’s Restricted Substances List (RSL).

In recent years, the Group has launched a series of programmes to improve packaging design mainly focused on recyclability, re-usability and durability as well as on reducing the material used.
In particular, in order to promote recyclability, where possible, the use of a single material per item has been foreseen and at the Castel San Giovanni (Piacenza) logistics hub a recycling process was implemented, involving a private partner operating at the facility to ensure proper, effective management of the recycling of packaging materials. 83% of the materials used in packaging are recyclable and recycled, registering an increase compared to 2021 (79%).

With regard to reusability and durability, 69% of packaging, in particular the one intended for end clients, is reusable.

The Group is committed, where feasible, to furtherly and continuously reduce year after year the volume of its packaging in order to improve the environmental performance of its products. Among initiatives relating to the reduction of the weight and materials used, since 2021 Stone Island has replaced the traditional stone paper used to create the shopping bag with recycled paper, resulting in a reduction in the weight of each bag of 35%; at Moncler, packaging made of single-use plastic used for the logistics transport of shoes was eliminated and a procedure was introduced to optimise the quantity of packaging used for the internal shipment of fabric samples and accessories between the various company functions, resulting in savings in the materials used.
Lastly, from 2021, in the Moncler e-commerce website, the Born To Protect (BTP) packaging option, which uses fewer items and has a lower weight than the Signature option one (which in any case only uses materials with a lower impact than conventional materials), was introduced as a the default choice. In 2022, more than 70% of the e-commerce packaging used is BTP.

Moncler’s e-commerce channel allows a choice of two types of packaging made from low environmental impact materials:

“SIGNATURE” PACKAGING: products are presented in a reusable Moncler box, tied with a tricolour ribbon.

• The external logistics box is made of 100% recycled paper from responsibly managed forests
• The inner “Signature” box is made of paper from responsibly managed forests, of which more than 50% is from recycled sources

• The inner bags included with down jackets are made from materials derived from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles
• The hangers included with down jackets are made of recycled plastic
• Last-mile delivery is done through the “UPS® carbon neutral” service for the Americas and EMEA Regions, whereas for Korea and Japan Moncler neutralises last-mile emissions through offsetting projects.

“MONCLER BORN TO PROTECT” PACKAGING: this option uses a reduced number of packaging

layers, placing products in light, reusable packaging.
• The external logistics box is made of 100% recycled paper from responsibly managed forests
• The inner bags are made from materials deriving from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles
• The hangers are made of recycled plastic
• Last-mile delivery is done through the “UPS® carbon neutral” service for the Americas and EMEA Regions, whereas for Korea and Japan Moncler neutralises last-mile emissions through offsetting projects.
