(Padua) offices who applied for them with the aim of encouraging individual mobility as an alternative to using local public transport for urban travels and travel between offices.
At its production site in Romania Moncler continued to pro- vide a shuttle bus service. This commuting system, from which benefited around 800 people, prevented the emission of over 1,500 tonnes of CO2, a reduction of 50%, compared to the emissions that would have been generated if each employee had moved by pri- vate means.
Emissions monitoring associated with commuting employ- ees continued in 2022. This activity included a survey to investigate modes of transport used by Moncler and Stone Island employees around the world (both corporate and retail).
In addition, in Italy, a Mobility Manager was appointed in 2021 to promote sustainable mobility of employees by developing a Work Home Travel Plan (WHTP). In particular, in 2022 the mapping of cor- porate locations aimed at analysing the accessibility to workplaces, the transport solutions used by the employees, the distance trav- elled and travel times was expanded to include, for Moncler, the employees of the Trebaseleghe (Padua) office and the logistics hub in Castel San Giovanni (Piacenza) and, for Stone Island, the employ- ees of the Milan and Ravarino (Modena) sites. The purpose of the activity was to identify areas of intervention to reduce traffic, pol- lutant emissions and costs incurred by personnel.
For years the Group has leveraged the potential of new tech- nologies such as innovative video conference and telepresence systems that facilitate remote communication, reducing the im- pacts of travel both on the environment and people s quality of life.
To date the Moncler Group has 46 meeting rooms with mod- ern video conference or telepresence systems.
In addition to the video conference systems present in offic- es, since 2019 it has been used the web desk conferencing system, namely, a flexible video conference system that integrates with the systems in the video rooms at company offices and also allows ex- ternal video conference systems to be connected to the company network. Through this video communication system, Moncler al- lows personnel outside the Company to contact internal staff with- out having to travel.
Moncler is also committed to minimise its environmental im- pact in the area of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) services, through increasingly efficient, innovative solutions and by providing all sites with specific guidelines for the purchase of environmentally friendly IT systems.
WATER Aware of the importance of responsibly managing the consumption of resources, including water, the Moncler Group is committed to preserve and reduce the consumption of such resources at its sites and throughout the supply chain.
In recent years the Group has thus launched a series of activ- ities aimed not only at assessing its impacts on water consumption, but also at analysing the water risk of its sites and along the supply chain to identify improvement measures.
As part of this process, for the first time in 2022, the Group calculated its water footprint, including water consumption occur- ring both at its sites and throughout the supply chain.
This analysis was conducted in collaboration with an exter- nal partner and follows the principles set by the ISO 14046: Wa- ter Footprint Principles, requirements and guidelines. The water footprint calculation methodology allows to combine direct (at the Group s sites) and indirect (throughout the supply chain) con- sumption data with the water risk index (reflecting water scarcity Available Water Remaining AWARE) associated with each geo- graphical area analysed.
In line with the analysis of the Group s carbon footprint, al- so the water footprint showed that the most significant impacts on water resources occur in the extraction and production phases of materials and in some processing stages.
Overall, the Group s total water consumption20 is around 7,200,000 m3. The most significant water consumption occurs in the production of the Group s natural and animal raw materials, par- ticularly for the cultivation of cotton, which is also the main materi- al by volume purchased. Among synthetic fibres, the greatest water consumption occurs in the transformation and dyeing of yarns and fabrics.

The results of the analysis were used internally to identify and pri- oritise actions and projects aimed at reducing the impact on water consumption.
For example, in the cotton supply chain the Group has iden- tified regenerative agriculture projects that make it possible to increase the capacity of the soil to retain water, improving the resil- ience of crops and reducing the need for irrigation of fields.
In addition, in 2022 the Group supported a research project by the Umberto Veronesi Foundation focused on identifying the mecha- nisms used by specific cotton varieties to survive or optimise growth in drought situations. The study aims to understand how to improve the resilience of species selected for agriculture in a less favourable environmental scenario and with limited water resources.
The Group s goal is to continue to refine the analyses carried out thus far, enriching them with increasingly granular data, involv- ing suppliers that operate upstream in the supply chain to collect information on water consumption of their production processes in order to identify potential risks and mitigate impacts.
WASTE The waste generated by the Moncler Group s direct activity mainly relates to packaging material, to office and textile processing scraps.
In 2022 Moncler and Stone Island recycled approximately 92% (+3 percentage points compared to 2021) of the waste gener- ated in Italy and at Moncler s production site in Romania.
The Group s offices and stores are equipped with special waste sorting containers and employees are informed of the impor- tance of using proper practices so that waste can be recycled/re- covered or, to a residual extent, disposed of. The sorting applies to: paper and cardboard, wood, plastic and IT equipment.
RESOURCES CONSUMPTION AND MANAGEMENT
20 The 2022 water footprint data include direct and indirect Group consump- tion, i.e. linked to the production of raw materials and finished products.
21 Indirect water consumption associated with the production and ex- traction of raw materials, such as cotton-growing, the livestock-raising phase for wool and transformation processes for synthetic fibres.
22 Indirect water consumption associated with processing such as spinning, weaving, dyeing, manufacturing, ironing, garment dyeing etc.
