In 2020 Moncler implemented a number of in-
itiatives to protect its people, clients, and sup-
pliers from the COVID-19 pandemic, and also
provided concrete support to the community
for a total amount of about 5 million euros. See
also page 178.
Homecare sanitary assistance for COVID pa-
tients
Moncler supported the experimental homecare
sanitary assistance programme promoted by
the Region of Lombardy and coordinated by
the City of Milan s Health Protection Agency by
funding the purchase of tools, machines, and
equipment for a total amount of 2 million euros.
This project aims at strengthening proximity
medical care to allow the timely diagnosis and
treatment of COVID-19 patients and, togeth-
er with general practitioners, relieve pressure
on hospitals caused by subsequent epidemic
waves.
Equipment for hospitals
Moncler responded to Fondazione Rava s
fundraising appeal for the purchase of equip-
ment needed by the new COVID intensive care
unit at the Policlinico of Milan. The donation
of 100,000 euros contributed to equip this
new unit and to the purchase of machines for
measuring the vital parameters of COVID-19
patients.
Distance learning and digitalization of schools
Moncler contributed to the digitalization pro-
cess of elementary and middle schools in Milan,
providing around 3,600 devices, including ip-
ads and computers, and internet connections
to support both distance and face-to-face
learning. Throughout 2021, Moncler will also
provide a tech support and helpdesk service
for the electronic equipment it has supplied.
The service, managed by the Politecnico of Mi-
lan and delivered by its students will be ded-
icated to schoolteachers, and to students, in
case of specific needs.
To complete this 2 million euro project, with
Moncler s support, professors from the Politec-
nico will offer a 100-hour training programme
to about 80 teachers who will learn to create an
educational model, increasingly innovative and
integrated with new technologies.
Surgical masks for employees and local com-
munities
Protection is a fundamental part of Moncler s
DNA, a natural instinct that in April 2020 led
the Group to dedicate an entire manufacturing
line at its industrial hub in Trebaseleghe, Padua,
to the production of surgical masks.
Bearing the CE mark and previously authorized
by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità , the masks
have been immediately distributed to Moncler
employees, to the children of employees of the
Italian offices and to some schools. In addition,
the Company donated more than 100,000
masks to 3,000 students of the schools nearby
the Trebaseleghe hub, Padua, and the logistics
hub in Castel San Giovanni, Piacenza.
Other initiatives
Moncler donated more than 180,000 euros to
the Civil Protection authority and to the town of
Castel San Giovanni, Piacenza, and sponsored
the Celebrity Fight Night of the Andrea Bocelli
Foundation, which is also committed to sup-
porting the healthcare system during the pan-
demic, with a particular focus on areas struck
by earthquakes.

MONCLER S COMMITMENT TO THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19
SUPPORT TO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
Moncler has always believed in research and innovation as key drivers for continuous development and improvement. This belief goes beyond Company boundaries, Moncler is commit- ted to promoting research in the medical and scientific sector, which it actively supports through funding and grants.
In 2020 the Company s support went to scientific re- search on COVID-19, by funding various entities including the University of Padua.
During the year Moncler also donated more than 300,000 euros for research grants and loans to support researchers at the Umberto Veronesi Foundation and for donations to a number of associations and foundations involved in medical research and in supporting the ill, including Theodora and the Italian Association against Leukemia-Lymphoma and My- eloma (AIL).
UMBERTO VERONESI FOUNDATION
The Umberto Veronesi Foundation was established in 2003 to support scientific research of excellence. Its promoters include 11 Nobel Prize winners, who form the Foundation s Honorary Committee.
The Foundation supports medical and scientific research through grants for physicians and researchers involved in the most advanced fields of oncology, cardiology, and neurosci- ence. Since its inception, the Foundation has funded nearly 1,900 researchers involved in cutting-edge scientific projects and around 135 research projects.
Furthermore, it actively disseminates scientific informa- tion through conferences, projects with schools, awareness campaigns and publications.
In 2013, the Foundation launched the Pink is Good pro- ject to support breast cancer research and raise prevention awareness across the community. Moncler has actively sup- ported this project since its inception, by donating part of the revenues generated by its main Italian retail stores during one day in October every year, and handing out information brochures to clients to raise prevention awareness.
In 2020, once again, Moncler supported three of the Um- berto Veronesi Foundation s researchers working on the re- search into breast and pancreas cancer.
Moncler also continued to support the Foundation s com- mitment to paediatric oncology by contributing to the Gold for Kids project, which aims to raise awareness of the delicate is- sue of paediatric and adolescent cancer. It promotes research and contributes to the development of innovative treatment protocols capable of delivering cutting-edge therapies and higher chances of recovery.
INITIATIVES FOR THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNITIES
Moncler is committed to contributing to the welfare of the communities in which it operates, not only by promoting indi- vidual projects, but also by endorsing, in various ways, organ- izations working in the social sphere, for example supporting
young people, promoting diversity and inclusion and spread- ing a culture of respect for the environment.
One of the issues closest to Moncler s heart is young gen- erations and their future. For many years now, the Company has supported struggling younger people by ensuring access to medical treatment, adequate levels of education and a clear growth path. It does so by collaborating with associations and foundations like Francesca Rava - NPH Italia, the San Patrigna- no recovery community, I Bambini delle Fate Onlus, and Amici di Cometa Onlus.
Another topic that is increasingly relevant for Moncler is diversity and inclusion. The Company is aware of how dis- crimination can be a great threat to the community and how important it is to help create a sense of belonging and accept- ance of diversity. In 2020 it set a target to foster an ever more inclusive culture. The Company s efforts include a donation to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo- ple (NAACP), one of the largest and most influential groups for equality and civil rights in the United States, committed to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination and ensure the health and wellbeing of all.
Moncler also supports projects focusing on the protec- tion and preservation of the environment. In recent years it has financed the Ev-K2-CNR Association s Keep Karakorum Clean and Keep K2 Clean initiatives to protect mountain ar- eas, and set up a volunteering project with Legambiente to reduce the use of plastic and promote plastic recycling.
THE EV-K2-CNR ASSOCIATION
Ev-K2-CNR is a private non-profit organization that promotes collaborative development projects and scientific research in mountain regions. The association collaborates with interna- tional organizations such as the WWF (World Wildlife Fund), the UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme), the UNDP (United Nation Development Programme) and the WMO (World Meteorological Organization). Its activities are cen- tred on studying and monitoring climate change, protecting biodiversity, and sustainable development in mountain areas.
United by the same passion and respect for the moun- tains, Ev-K2-CNR and Moncler have collaborated since 2014 in promoting environmental education programmes like Keep Karakorum Clean and Keep K2 Clean. These initiatives, also developed within the scope of K2 expeditions and in col- laboration with local institutions, have resulted in annual waste clean-ups at base camps, which are restored to their natural conditions. In recent years, in collaboration with the authorities of the Central Karakorum National Park (CKNP) and Gilgit-Baltistan territory in Pakistan, a waste sorting system and recycling centre have been set up. In 2020, be- cause of the COVID-19 pandemic, these activities were op- erated directly by CKNP personnel, while the environmental education programmes to raise awareness among Pakistani workers of the importance of preserving parks and glaciers, and to strengthen conservation projects in the region, were continued by Ev-K2-CNR in close cooperation with the gov- ernment of Gilgit-Baltistan (Pakistan), the stakeholders, and the local population. During the year a new initiative was also launched: One Health, a system of laboratories located around the region to study and protect the health of nature and the local fauna.
