ENERGY EFFICIENCY INITIATIVES With regards to energy efficiency, also in 2022 Moncler continued the installation of low-consumption lighting systems and the opti- misation of heating and of air conditioning systems.
At the Moncler corporate sites, in line with the previous years, refurbishment and installation of more efficient lighting systems continued, through the replacement of traditional lighting systems with LED bulbs and thermal insulation systems to ensure greater energy efficiency.
To date, the entire production site in Romania and the lo- gistics hub in Castel San Giovanni (Piacenza) are equipped with light-emitting diode (LED) systems. At the Milan corporate site, almost all lighting systems are more efficient than conventional systems, while at the corporate site in Trebaseleghe (Padua), ap- proximately 80% of lighting systems are lower consumption ones.
In order to implement more efficient systems, in 2022 the gas steam boiler at the Moncler headquarters in Trebaseleghe (Padua) was replaced with an electrical steam generator. This type of sys- tem increases boiler efficiency by 20%, resulting in energy savings and in reduced CO2 emissions.
At the Stone Island site in Ravarino (Modena), since 2018 ac- tivities have been implemented at offices to replace the air condi- tioning and gas heating systems with more efficient heat pumps with inverters as well as window fixtures to ensure high thermal in- sulation. During the year, some areas of Stone Island s office in Ra- varino (Modena) were equipped with motion sensors to facilitate energy control and monitoring, reduce waste, and optimise ener- gy efficiency.
To date, more than 99%10 of Moncler stores worldwide (100% in the United States, Korea, Japan and Europe) have LED lighting. The same type of system has been adopted and will be ad- opted by all new Stone Island stores at global level.
The latest-generation LEDs, in addition to offering excel- lent light quality, ensure an estimated energy savings of up to 80% compared to previously-used lighting systems, while also generat- ing less residual heat. In terms of environmental impact, LED lights have an average lifespan that is significantly longer than traditional lights and are almost entirely made from recyclable material.
The investments made in 2022 to install or replace tradition- al lights with LED lighting systems in offices and stores amounted to over 3.5 million euros11.
In line with previous years, also in 2022 the Group continued to implement activities aimed at renewing store electrical systems using new technologies that ensure energy-saving.

In this regard, in 2021 Moncler began equipping stores with Build- ing Management Systems (BMSs) for the integrated management of all the technological functions of each space, from access con- trol to lighting and air conditioning, with the aim of implementing more efficient management of energy consumption.
LEED AND BREEAM ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATIONS In 2021 the Group initiated an environmental and energy certifica- tion process for its stores and all new corporate buildings accord- ing to the LEED standard. By adopting this certification, combined with other energy efficiency measures and the installation of LED lights, the Group ensures to reduce electricity consumption and re- lated CO2 emissions in the long term.
From 2023 on, the Moncler Group is committed to obtaining LEED certification for all new stores12, relocations and expansions.
The Moncler Group currently has: five stores certified according to the LEED for Building Oper-
ations and Maintenance standard seven stores certified according the LEED Interior Design
and Construction standard five stores waiting for the LEED Interior Design and Con-
struction certification nine stores for which the LEED Interior Design and Construc-
tion certification has begun.
With regard to corporate sites, in 2022 the Group began the pro- cess aimed at obtaining the LEED certification for the extension of the plant in Romania.
Lastly, in 2021 BREEAM In-Use certification (Excellent level) was obtained for the logistics hub in Castel San Giovanni (Piacen- za), proving a more efficient management of the building and an en- ergy and environmental performance improvement.
CAR FLEET During the year the Group continued to introduce low environmen- tal impact vehicles into the car fleet. In 2022 the Moncler Group s hybrid and electric corporate vehicles exceed 63% (70% for the Moncler brand) of total vehicles. The Group s objective is to con- tinue to introduce this type of car, reaching 90% coverage by 2024 (target anticipated of one year). See also page 74.
CARBON NEUTRALITY In 2022, in line with the commitment of the Science-Based Targets and the objectives of the Strategic Sustainability Plan, the Group maintained carbon neutrality13 for all corporate sites worldwide.
In order to maintain carbon neutrality, and in line with what was done in 2021, unavoidable residual emissions (reduced com- pared with the previous year) were compensated through two projects certified on the voluntary market and focused, respective- ly, on the circular economy and renewable energy, demonstrating the Group s commitment to mitigate its impacts. The first project supported, certified according to Gold Standard, relates to the ex- pansion of a plastic waste recycling plant in Romania. This initiative is in addition to the contribution to instal a photovoltaic system cer- tified according to the Verified Carbon Standard in Mauritius. The two projects are important not only from an environmental point of view but also from a social perspective as they have created new job opportunities and raised awareness among local communities, especially in schools, on environmental topics and the importance of recycling and of sustainable management of local resources.
10 Excluding the shop-in-shops (13 at global level) where lighting systems are provided by the host department stores and on which Moncler cannot take action. However, at 2022 year closing these shop-in-shops had LED lighting systems.
11 In 2022 also investments in LED systems in Korea and Japan were included.
12 Excluding shop-in-shops. 13 Achieving carbon neutrality involves reducing impacts through CO2
emission reduction activities such as purchasing energy from renewable sources, using more efficient lighting systems, using vehicles with low environmental impact and neutralising residual emissions with carbon credits generated by positive impact projects. Each credit, certified ac- cording to the most relevant international standards, such as the Gold Standard or Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), certifies that a tonne of CO2 has been reduced or removed from the atmosphere.
