CONTRIBUTION BY GEOGRAPHICA AREA
SUPPORT TO THE POPULATIONS IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS Through Warmly Moncler projects, the Company works with vari- ous associations to protect people most in need from the cold.
Over the years, Moncler has been protecting the most vulner- able families living in some of the world coldest areas, where the already extreme living conditions intensify with the arrival of win- ter, making survival a daily struggle. This has been possible through Moncler support to UnICeF, the United nations Children s Fund, which provides humanitarian assistance to children and their com- munities, and other associations such as UnHCR, the Un Refu- gee Agency, which protects the rights and well-being of refugees around the world, and the Francesca Rava n.P.H. Foundation. From 2017 to 2023 the Company protected approximately 140,000 children and families from the cold with necessities, kits for new- borns, blankets and garments.
Moncler aims to protect 150,000 vulnerable people from the cold over the period 2020-2025 and support local communities with one high social value project every two years.
The Moncler Group, attentive to the needs of populations af- fected by natural disasters, acted promptly in 2023, offering aid to the populations of Türkiye and Syria severely impacted by the earthquake and to the local communities of emilia-Romagna affected by the flood.
SUPPORT TO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH Moncler has always believed in research and innovation as key driv- ers for continuous development and improvement. This belief even stretches beyond the Company boundaries. Moncler is commit- ted to ensure that research is constantly supported, also in medical and scientific sectors and therefore, actively supports researchers in their daily activities through grants and scholarships.
In 2023 more than 350,000 euros were donated for scholar- ships and grants to support researchers from the Umberto Vero- nesi Foundation and to a number of associations and foundations involved in supporting the sick, including Theodora onlus and the european Institute of Oncology.

moters include 11 nobel Prize winners who form the Foundation s Honorary Committee.
Scientific research is supported through research grants for doctors and researchers in the most advanced fields of oncolo- gy. Since its establishment, the Foundation has funded more than 2,200 doctors and scientists engaged in cutting-edge scientific projects and over 140 research projects.
Moreover, the Foundation is active in the field of scientif- ic divulgation through conferences, projects with schools, aware- ness-raising campaigns and publications.
In 2013, the Foundation launched the Pink is Good project to offer concrete support for research on breast cancer and to raise awareness on its prevention. Moncler has actively supported the project since its inception.
Also in 2023 Moncler supported two researchers from the Umberto Veronesi Foundation involved in the study of breast and pancreas cancer.
Moncler also continued to support the Foundation in its com- mitment to paediatric oncology, contributing to the creation of PALM (Paediatric Acute Leukemia of Myeloid origin), a national network of institutes specialising in oncohematology coordinated by the Bam- bin Gesù Paediatric Hospital, aimed at the first clinical trial in eu- rope of the gene therapy using CAR-nK cells and the development of new diagnostic methods for acute myeloid leukaemia, a very ag- gressive blood cancer that affects around 70 children a year in Italy.
Lastly, to promote research into the effects of climate change on the environment and thus on human health, since 2022 Mon- cler has been supporting a research project by the Umberto Ve- ronesi Foundation on the ability of some plant species to adapt to less favourable climate conditions. The study focuses in particular on identifying the mechanisms used by specific varieties of cotton to survive or optimise growth in drought situations. The goal of the study is to understand how to improve the resilience of selected species for agriculture in a less favourable environmental scenar- io and with limited water resources.
INITIATIVES FOR THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNITIES Moncler is committed to contribute to the well-being of the com- munity in which it operates, both by promoting independent proj- ects, and by supporting organisations working in the social sphere on issues such as young people assistance, diversity and inclusion, and the spread of a culture of respect for the environment.
Young people and their future have always been an issue of great importance for Moncler, which for many years has been sup- porting struggling young people to ensure them access to medi- cal care, an adequate level of education and a clear growth path, through cooperation with associations and foundations such as Francesca Rava n.P.H., dynamo Camp, Comunità San Patrigna- no, I Bambini delle Fate and Amici di Cometa Onlus.
Another issue that is of great importance to the Moncler Group is diversity, equity and inclusion. The Group is aware of how discrimination can be a threat to the community and also how signif- icant it is to create a sense of acceptance and enhancement of diver- sity. In particular, in 2020 Moncler began implementing initiatives to promote an increasingly inclusive culture. In this context are encom- passed the donations made to organisations committed to promote diversity and equal opportunity, including the LeBron James Foun- dation, Heritage of Pride the magazine The Face. With the latter, al- so in 2023 the Group continued the Future Academy programme, which provides paid training opportunities for young people who want to join the creative industry, enabling them to acquire new skills and building a series of contacts of great value for their future.
Moncler also supports activities and projects related to the protection and preservation of the environment. Particularly, in re- cent years the Company has supported the ev-K2-CnR Association s Keep Karakorum Clean and Keep K2 Clean initiatives aimed at clean- ing up the mountains and has developed a voluntary project with Le- gambiente to reduce plastic use and promote plastic recycling.
