Remo Ruffini, Moncler’s chairman and CEO, said: “2020 will remain marked in the world’s and Moncler’s history. Going back over all the thoughts, emotions and actions of these past months would only be reductive, and I usually like to look ahead, to the future,” said Ruffini. “At the same time, I think it is important to acknowledge those crucial moments when you act with courage amid uncertainty. This has been the strength that has guided us through these past months, especially in the last key weeks of 2020.”
“In November, after a few months of cautious optimism and hope, we found ourselves back within the uncertainty of rising infection rates, lockdowns and the impossibility to plan. This has once again pushed us to demonstrate Moncler’s great ability to react, without which we would not be commenting on what I believe to be an exceptional set of results, and meanwhile we have maintained a strong focus on sustainability and on the targets set in the Moncler Born to Protect plan.
“The final months of 2020 will always be remembered at Moncler, as in the midst of a difficult time for Italy and the world, we announced the Stone Island deal. It is a union that I hoped for and pursued, and which was made possible thanks to the common vision of two entrepreneurs, Carlo Rivetti and myself, who share the same ideals, the same passion, the same love for their companies. […] I think that together with Carlo and all the people at Stone Island and Moncler, we will be able to make this new journey unique.”
