culture of diversity and solidarity, Moncler, since launching the programme in 2018, has partnered with a number of non-prof- it organisations in activities ranging from the environment to so- cial. All corporate employee can take two days a year to volunteer, choosing from different organisations, types of activities and days. Starting in 2022, Stone Island s people will also be involved in corporate volunteering initiatives. See also pages 223-225.
During the year, Moncler identifi ed new forms of volunteer- ing to be carried out also remotely using digital technologies. To- gether with Francesca Rava Foundation, a remote schooling project was launched with the aim of best preparing young people for the workplace. As part of the course, a digital training activity was held on the Offi ce package and support was provided in the writing of a curriculum vitae and in the simulation of a job interview.
With Legambiente a project was launched to raise aware- ness of the environmental impact of the dispersion of waste in nature. In the project, Moncler volunteers actively participated in the preservation campaign for parks and beaches, which were cleaned mainly from plastic materials or invasive plants.
Moreover, in 2021 Moncler invited its people to participate in the Be Warm project, created together with Officine Buone to provide Italian hospitals, and above all the Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori (National Cancer Institute) of Milan, with its artistic tal- ent, encouraging employees to share their passion for art, paint- ing, photography, digital art and music. The most creative works to be selected in 2022 will be part of a travelling exhibition in hos- pitals. In addition, selected singers and musicians will have the opportunity to perform in hospitals, offering moments of fun and relaxation to doctors and patients. This first pilot edition will be subsequently extended at global level.
Over the course of the year, the America Region and Ja- pan also engaged in volunteering activities ranging from cleaning parks and beaches to food banks.
The APAC Region organised initiatives to protect the poor- est in the society and the environment. In particular, in Hong Kong, Moncler employees participated in the Food Reduce Pro- gramme, offering their support in preparing meals for the less for- tunate people.
In 2021, at global level, 305 employees participated in these programmes, for a total of over 2,600 volunteer hours.
COVID-19 EMERGENCY: MONCLER PROTECTING ITS PEOPLE
Since the beginning of the Covid-19 emergency, Moncler has made employees safety and protection an absolute priority, taking every step to minimise risks and provide a safe environment. Safety protocols, supervised by epidemiologists have been set up, and remote working methods have been arranged for both corporate and retail em- ployees, always aligned and in compliance with government directives issued by the various countries.
A strict protocol has been defined for the return to the office in line with the most up-to-date scientific knowledge, designed to protect everyone s health. This included clear directives for managing common areas and individual spaces to ensure proper distancing, guiding behaviour and identifying the protective equipment to be worn ac- cording to the different risk exposures.
Surgical masks and disinfectants office kits are constantly provided at Moncler. In this regard, since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, Moncler has produced ap- proximately 1.8 million face masks, bearing the CE mark, and previously authorised by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (Higher Health Institute), that have been provided to all employees and schools in the local communities in which the Company operates. See also pages 223-225.
Workspaces are disinfected several times a day and sanitised periodically. Body tem- perature is measured several times a day through thermal scanners at the entrances of Moncler offices. These measures were also extended to Stone Island s people.
In 2021 approximately 15,000 serological, rapid and molecular swab tests were car- ried out at Moncler and Stone Island to detect any positive cases of infection in Italy and Europe, while in the remaining regions screening was managed through public health. To ensure constant monitoring, swabs are repeated regularly. Moreover, thanks to the collaboration with the San Raffaele of Milan and Affidea, almost 230 employees based in Milan were able to sign up for and receive the seasonal flu vaccine. Given the importance of enabling people with pre-existing conditions or requiring medical ad- vice to receive needed medical services even under the difficult conditions posed by the Covid-19, the agreement signed in 2020 with the San Donato Group San Raffaele Hospital to provide telemedicine service for Italian employees and their families con- tinued in 2021. It provides a simple and safe way to access remote/video consultation services, with more than 440 physicians and 43 excellent health care specialist cate- gories at special rates, without having to travel physically to the hospital. Visits and tests were also offered at hospitals or pick-up points, in addition to home services.
Remote working continued during the year, particularly in the months character- ised by an increase in the number of cases linked to Covid-19 variants, except for some teams and liaison officers authorised to work on site as their job required physi- cal presence. In view of the different organisation of work in recent years, internal communication took on an increasingly important role for keeping people connected despite distance, promoting a positive climate, supporting the corporate culture and promoting a strong sense of belonging and motivation among individuals. In 2021 more than 190 communications were circulated to employees to inform and update them regularly on business decisions, initiatives and activities.
The private Instagram channel, created in 2020 and dedicated to all Italian employ- ees, has been extended to all Regions. A rich and varied content plan, with livestreams covering relevant current topics, kept the engagement high. Health-related topics in- cluded briefing sessions on Covid vaccines, during which relevant scientific data and information were shared. Also the topics of the risks of smoking and e-cigarettes on the occasion of World No Tobacco Day and prevention and early detection of women s cancers for Pink Week were discussed.
