activities were carried out directly by CKNP staff, while environ- mental education activities to raise awareness among the Paki- stani workers on the importance of preserving parks and glaciers and to strengthen nature protection projects in the region, were continued by Ev-K2-CNR in close cooperation with the govern- ment of Gilgit-Baltistan (Pakistan), stakeholders and the local population. One Health, a network of laboratories located in the re- gion dedicated to studying and protecting the health of nature and animals, also went ahead. In addition to the Deosai Park cleaning action plan, other activities were also launched in 2021 to support environmental preservation and promote the sustainable devel- opment of new areas such as Broad Peak, Gasherbrum, the Con- cordia ice circus and Jula Camp, where around 7,000 kg of waste were collected and disposed.
MONCLER S COMMITMENT TO THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19
During the period 2020-2021 Moncler implemented a series of initiatives to protect its people, clients and suppliers from the Covid-19 pandemic, while also providing con- crete support to the community for a total amount of about 6 million euros. In particular, the following activities were supported in 2021:
Vaccine hub In 2021, Moncler contributed with more than 800,000 euros in collaboration with Fiera Milano Foundation, Generali, and Cisco to the construction of the largest vaccine hub in Italy, at the Palazzo delle Scintille. The centre was born from the desire to address the need to guarantee additional and adequate space in the territory to continue the inoculation of vaccines at an increasingly rapid pace during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The vaccination centre, coordinated by the IRCCS Ca Granda Foundation Os- pedale Maggiore Policlinico, has 72 vaccination lines and a coded, stage-based route from the moment of acceptance to the delivery of the vaccination certificate.
Moncler has fully contributed to the costs of the setting up and furnishing, such as the acceptance area, anamnesis and inoculation box, the post-vaccine observation area and the workstations of healthcare personnel, and also to the costs of registra- tion activities of the vaccination process, carried out by more than 80 employees recruit- ed by the Policlinico of Milan.
Lastly, every day, the hub employs more than 90 volunteers, who guide recipients along the stages of process, providing information and accompanying them if needed. Since the establishment of the hub, Moncler launched an initiative to involve its cor- porate headquarters employee in Milan who wish to join the volunteering programme, guaranteed during working hours, to support the activity. In 2021, more than 1,800 volunteer hours were carried out.
Distance learning and digitalisation of schools Moncler contributed to the digitalisation process of kindergartens, elementary and middle schools in Milan, and to the implementation of distance learning by providing approximately 3,900 devices, including ipads, personal computers and the related internet connections. Throughout 2021, Moncler integrated the supply of electronic equipment with a technological support service and a help desk managed by the students of the Politecnico of Milano and dedicated to the teaching staff and, in case of specific needs, also to students.
To complete the project, of a total value of over 2 million euros, through the univer- sity s professors, Moncler has offered a 100-hour training course to support around 80 teachers in identifying a new educational model, increasingly innovative and inte- grated with new technologies. Surgical masks for employees and local communities Protection is a fundamental part of the Group s DNA, a natural core value that, since 2020, led Moncler to dedicate an entire manufacturing line of its Italian industrial hub in Trebaseleghe (Padua) for the production of surgical mask.
Protective masks, bearing the CE mark and previously authorised by Istituto Superiore di Sanità , were earmarked to the Company s employees, to the children of employees of Italian offices and to some schools. In particular, the Company pro- duced approximately 1.8 million masks in 2021 and donated 8,000 over the last two years.
Research on the consequences of Covid-19 Moncler donated 250,000 euros to the Umberto Veronesi Foundation to support the development of a protocol to understand the link between diseases involving the immune system, immunomodulators and Covid-19.
The results of this study allowed to establish the risk profile of patients with pre- existing conditions involving the immune system and the effectiveness of using immunomodulators in other conditions, such as during the acute phase of Covid-19 disease.
The project, developed at the San Raffaele Hospital of Milan, also involved the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University of Milan, the University of Milan, the Carlo Besta Neurological Institute of Milan and the Bicocca University of Milan.
