STANDARD ETHICS RATES AND CONSIDERS MONNALISA ESG

STRATEGY AMONG THE INDUSTRY LEADERS

Arezzo (AR), January 20, 2022

Monnalisa S.p.A., operative holding of Monnalisa Group, high-end childrenswear industry leader listed on the Euronext Growth Milan market, confirming its progress in the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) area, announces that the Standard Ethics1 rating agency has assigned an EE- (adequate), or investment grade, rating to Monnalisa, placing it among the top comparable companies in the industry.

In its final report, fully available on Monnalisa website, the Standard Ethics Agency states that "The social and environmental non-financialaspects appear to be handled according to good ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) practices and are reported using appropriate tools and advanced standards. The Company uses certified environmental processes. The sustainability governance is largely aligned with international guidelines (UN, OECD and EU). Even taking into account the particular nature of the listing market and of the shareholder structure, the analysts consider margins for improvement on some specific risk management and corporate governance issues to still exist - such as the composition of the Board of Directors (independence and diversity)".

Christian Simoni, Monnalisa CEO, states: "This rating responds to our desire to obtain a non self- referential and "ethic neutral" assessment by an independent agency, as well as to get better insights on the perception of our ESG area policies and activities. This is a learning opportunity that drives us to continuously improve on our sustainability journey, which began many years ago and in which the company has always shown a very strong belief and commitment. The rating from Standard Ethics confirms that we are on the right track."

The full report is available in the Analysts Coverage section of the "Investor Relations" area.
