A specific, detailed emergency response plan with measures for preparedness and response to emergency situations is also pro- vided for each Group site.
During 2022, occupational health and safety inspections continued at the Moncler and Stone Island corporate sites in Italy, the logistics hub in Castel San Giovanni (Piacenza) and the produc- tion site in Romania. These inspections were carried out by both in- ternal and external staff.
All employees of the Moncler Group and service providers most exposed to workplace safety risk, such as security, cleaning, porterage and maintenance companies, are covered by the com- pany health and safety management system, which involves audits conducted by internal functions and external bodies.
In Italy, the Group organises periodic safety meetings, in which representatives of the two Brands participate, along with the company physicians, the officers of the prevention and protection service and workers safety representatives. During the meetings, analyses and results are shared with regard to risk assessment, ac- cident rate, training and the personal protective equipment used.
Lastly, the Group s health and safety management system al- so includes specific procedures for investigating accidents, occu- pational diseases, illness or accidents at work in order to identify the circumstances and possible causes and, if necessary, plan and pri- oritise actions and initiatives to prevent their recurrence in the future.
In 2022, various activities focused on health and safety pre- vention continued, including: careful management of workspaces, ongoing communication and awareness-raising activities, monitor- ing the correct application of improvement initiatives for employ- ees and for those of the service provider that manages the logistics hub in Castel San Giovanni (Piacenza), and contractual sharing and adoption of high standards of health and safety management, in line with those set out in the Code of Ethics and the Group s Sup- plier Code of Conduct, as well as in the relevant legislation, by part- ners and suppliers.
Moncler s accident rate trend in the three-year period 2020- 2022 is due to the partial operation that characterised many of the company functions with a higher accident risk profile in 2020 and 2021 due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2022 these functions resumed full operation, with accident rate returning to levels similar to pre-pandemic ones.
In 2022 Moncler continued its commitment to monitoring ac- cident rates for the employees of the service provider that manages the logistics hub in Castel San Giovanni (Piacenza), which in 2020 received the SA8000 certification with the aim of ensuring optimal working conditions. The severity rate at the logistics hub was 0.15 in 2020, 0.27 in 2021 and 0.12 in 202212, whereas the frequency rate was 9.17 in 2020, 8.41 in 2021 and 10.38 in 2022. In addition, monitoring was extended to other service providers deemed most at risk of safety for whom no accident was recorded, with a total fre- quency rate for all monitored suppliers of 7.78 in 2020, 5.90 in 2021 and 7.90 in 2022.
No fatal incidents were recorded, either among employees or contractors.

Occupational diseases, i.e. diseases caused by a gradual and pro- gressive harmful effect on the worker s body, in a direct causal re- lationship with the work carried out, are monitored by the Group in order to identify the conditions of working environments that may have facilitated them, check for any residual risks and take the nec- essary corrective actions, in order to prevent them from recurring. In addition, in Italy, personnel exposed to specific risk factors con- tinued to undergo periodic health checks through specific health protocols, formulated on the basis of risk, along with any additional specialist visits as needed.
All indicators relating to accident indicators are constantly moni- tored and assessed. See also page 239.
Moncler and Stone Island take an inclusive approach to em- ployee well-being, focusing attention on work-related stress issues. In 2022 Moncler renewed its assessment of work-related stress at corporate sites in Milan: for all offices, the results of this assess- ment showed a low risk. Despite the low risk obtained, in 2023 the Company will continue to implement a series of actions aimed at implementing a process of continuous improvement: the stress assessment was used as a basis for the planning and implementa- tion of organisational or management measures aimed at prevent- ing or minimising stress-related harm on worker health.
This assessment was also carried out at Moncler production site in Romania and at the Stone Island sites in Milan and Ravarino (Modena), also found to have a low risk level.
TRAINING AND INFORMATION People training is part of the prevention activity promoted by the Moncler Group.
During 2022 more than 27,000 hours of health and safe- ty training were delivered. Specific training courses, dedicated and customised on the basis of the various professional profiles and risk levels, were launched in order to transfer the appropriate knowledge, skills and values for working safely .
The majority of employees have received general workplace safety training in compliance with the law. For those at the Compa- ny who occupy positions of responsibility and coordination, addi- tional training has been provided, specific to officers, to facilitate the monitoring and compliance of workers with conduct in line with the legal and company s health and safety rules.
In addition, a health and safety course with content specif- ic to store employees continued to be provided to all Group stores.
HEALTH AND WELL-BEING The Moncler Group s commitment to the promotion and protection of the health of its employees extends beyond the limits of its busi- ness activities and occupational risks. This is the meaning and pur- pose of the various initiatives relating to training and information on prevention organised during the year.
The Moncler Group is committed to sign agreements with local clinics to ensure employees have access to the best medical centres at the lowest rates. In 2022 a dedicated psychological consultation service was made available to employees at Moncler s sites in Italy.
In addition, the Group participates in a supplementary health care fund for workers in the Italian fashion industry, which provides services supplementary to those of the Italian s National Health System. During the year, 1,106 employees registered with the fund. See also pages 106-107.
In 2022, the traditional company welfare initiatives continued at the production site in Romania. Moncler has always put in place various activities to promote the health and well-being of employ- ees in Romania: from offering annual blood tests directly on site, to conducting free eye tests, to helping to purchase eyeglasses. The evaluation on the ergonomics of some workstations in the iron- ing department, needed to formulate improvement plans to reduce staff fatigue and maximise productivity, was extended to the sew- ing department during the year. Lastly, new LED lighting systems, which are more environmentally efficient and contribute to improv- ing working conditions, continued to be installed.
Another issue that Moncler and Stone Island regularly monitor is noise in workplaces, which can cause a range of health problems for workers. In particular, at all corporate offices and the produc- tion site in Romania, noise measurements are carried out annually to check compliance with the permitted limits in each area.
Air quality, temperature and humidity can also generate un- comfortable situations in the workplace, affecting both physical health and the psychological well-being of workers. Specifically, the Moncler Group, in order to ensure proper workplace ventilation at the corporate sites in Trebaseleghe (Padua) and Romania and at the Stone Island site in Ravarino (Modena), where there are vari- ous micro-climatic conditions due to different processing phases, continued to carry out efficiency upgrade projects involving the in- stallation of latest-generation ventilation systems, which are peri- odically checked.
