The regular management of its business and the development of its strategy expose the Moncler Group to various types of risks that could adversely affect the Group s operating results and its fi- nancial position. These risks are integrated into the corporate en- terprise risk management (eRM) process. The entity responsible for managing eRM promotes coordination between the internal functions involved, in order to ensure consistency and effective- ness in overseeing and monitoring the main risks within the corpo- rate organisation.
The most important business risks are monitored by the Con- trol, Risks and Sustainability Committee and periodically examined by the Board of directors, which takes them into account in devel- oping the strategy.
RISKS RELATED TO THE RUSSIA-UKRAINE AND THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICTS The conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which began on 24 Feb- ruary 2022, and the conflict between Israel and Palestine, which began on 7 October 2023, have major global consequences not only in terms of severe humanitarian crisis, but also in terms of eco- nomic effects on the global markets, reflected among other things in increases in lead times and cost of transport, in energy and raw material costs.
The Moncler Group shut down its business activities in Rus- sia after the conflict outbreak and it runs negligible activities in Is- rael and Palestine.
The Group has no suppliers of raw materials in Russia, Ukraine, Israel or Palestine, nor manufacturing sites located there. However, the escalation of the conflicts could have unpredictable repercussions on neighbouring countries where the Group pro- duces, with an impact on production capacity, e.g. as a result of the temporary disruption in the power supply, and on procurement times and costs. The situation is constantly monitored in order to be able to react promptly to any intensification of the conflicts.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MARKETS IN WHICH THE GROUP OPERATES AND GENERAL GEOPOLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS The Group operates in the luxury goods sector, where there is a sig- nificant correlation between the demand for goods and the level of wealth, the level of economic growth and political stability in the countries where demand is generated. The Group s ability to devel- op its business also depends on the political stability and econom- ic situation of the various countries in which it operates.
Although Moncler operates in a significant number of coun- tries around the world, reducing the risk of a high concentration of the business in limited geographical areas, any deterioration in eco- nomic, social or political conditions in one or more markets in which it operates could have negative consequences for sales and eco- nomic and financial results.
The possible introduction by national or supranational enti- ties of constraints on the movement of individuals as a result, for example, of international crises or pandemics , terrorist attacks, as well as the tensions in Asia-Pacific area and the introduction of any export limitations as a result of trade or financial sanctions, could also affect sales, particularly in relation to specific geographical ar-
