•Single-use plastic10

The impact of plastic on the environment, especially single-use

virgin plastic, has become a very important issue for the planet.

The Group progressively reduced the use of single-use virgin

plastic from fossil origin until its complete phase out in 2023.

To date, 99% of the single-use plastic ordered by the Group

consists of recycled plastic, and 1% of compostable and

bio-based plastic.

The decision to replace single-use virgin plastic with mainly

recycled plastic stems from a Life Cycle Assessment conducted

with Politecnico of Milan to identify the best alternative from

an environmental and technical-performance point of view.

This analysis showed that recycled plastic reduces CO2

emissions by 35% and water consumption by 60% compared

to virgin plastic. In addition to preferring recycled plastics,

the weight of many single-use items was reduced by 10%, thus

allowing a reduction in unit weight and a decrease in the use

of raw materials.

•Paper11

All the paper and cardboard used by the Group come from

responsibly managed forests (FSC or PEFC). Given their

signif icant use, these materials are constantly the focus of

improvement projects, linked to the reduction of their use

where possible and to the increase in the percentage of

recycled material.

To date, 72% of the Group’s paper is made from

recycled material.

Waste

The waste generated by the Moncler Group’s direct activity

is primarily composed of packaging material, of f ice waste and

textile processing scraps.

The actions taken by the Group in the area of waste

management are closely aligned with the objectives def ined in

the Environmental Policy to minimise waste generation,

maximise its recycling and reduce the environmental impacts

of its activities. In this regard, all corporate of f ices, production

sites and the logistics hub, where the amount of waste generated

is signif icantly higher than at other sites, the company implements

an environmental management system certif ied according

to the ISO 14001 standard.

In 2024, the Group generated around 1,700 tonnes of waste

at these sites, about 7% less than in 2023. In particular, no waste

generated at its corporate of f ices, production sites and logistics

hub was sent to landf ill or incineration without heat recovery.

This result was achieved thanks to a series of programmes

aimed to maximise the material sent to recycling networks,

implemented with the support of companies specialised in proper

waste disposal.

In recent years, the Group has implemented ad hoc procedures

and processes for the management of textile materials, be they

inventories, fabric scraps or unsold garments.

In this regard, in 2024 the Group sent 99% of all textile

waste material for recycling, in line with the f igure for 2023.

This was made possible by continuous dialogue with partners

and organisations to explore innovative solutions and integrate

recycling programmes to minimise the material sent to

waste-to-energy and/or landf ills.

In particular, the Sustainability Innovation team continued

its research and collaboration with external partners to identify

solutions for the recycling and recovery of textile material

of f inished garments. In 2024, as in previous years, no unsold

garments were sent to incineration with energy recovery

or to landf ill; rather, they were recycled to recover fabric, yarn

or other materials

With regard to textile scraps and their reuse and recovery

in 2024 the Group continued to actively collaborate at its

production sites and with various suppliers to reduce scrap

and losses and consequently textile waste by optimising the use

and cutting of fabrics while implementing the infrastructure

needed to recycle and maintain the intrinsic value of unavoidable

scrap For example also in 2024 100 of the nylon production

scraps from the Groups direct sites was recycled For more details

page 221

Reducing the amount of waste sent to incineration or landf ill

has helped to avoid the greenhouse gas emissions associated

with waste treatment, with a positive impact not only on the

environment, but also on the alignment with the Group’s emission

reduction targets.

Moncler actively engages its employees, encouraging them

to properly dispose of waste in accordance with local regulations

and/or best practices. To support this commitment, in 2024

the Group developed a course on environmental sustainability,

which includes a module dedicated to the ef f icient use of resources

and circularity. The course covers key concepts such as the

distinction between renewable and non-renewable resources,

the main characteristics of the waste produced, and explores

the benef its of a circular approach in the fashion industry.

Lastly, as previously described, since 2022 the Group has

been a member of Re.Crea, the consortium founded by industry

brands, coordinated by Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana,

to manage textile and fashion products at the end of their lives

and to promote the research and development of innovative

recycling solutions.
