Ethical commitment

HUBLOT is a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), an organization gathering more than 260 professionals worldwide committed to the protection of ethics, human rights, social rights and good environmental practices throughout the chain of gold and diamond production, from mines to retail trade. The Council has developed the RJC system, a certification process which applies to all member companies which participate in the logistics chain of gold and diamond jewelry. In order to obtain Certified Member status in the RJC system, all Commercial Members must undergo an audit by third-party auditors who are accredited to assess their adherence to the RJC’s Code of Practices.

The Kimberley Process is an international certification system created to prevent the trade of “conflict diamonds” (also known as “blood diamonds”). Launched in 2003, it seeks to ensure that the sale of diamonds does not contribute to the funding of armed conflicts, imposing strict requirements on participants, in particular governmental supervision on the import and export of uncut diamonds, and full traceability from the mine to marketplace.

HUBLOT ensures that the conduct of its activities respects the rights of individuals and fosters the ongoing improvement of public and social health conditions, which are essential to the development and protection of people's rights.

HUBLOT is committed to maintaining its vigilance in detecting potential negative consequences, whether direct or indirect, arising of its activities on society in order to prevent or, if necessary, addressing these consequences.

HUBLOT respects and promotes the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and adheres to the principles of the United Nations Global Compact, as well as the United Nations Women’s Empowerment Principles. Within its sphere of influence, HUBLOT supports the values, freedoms and fundamental rights promoted in these documents.

Hublot encourages open communication and dialog within its business and with its external stakeholders (partners, clients). Any Hublot employee or external stakeholder becoming aware of a violation of the Codes of Conduct, internal guidelines, principles and policies and/or applicable laws and regulations is invited to share their concerns and/or seek advice.

At Hublot, our watches have always been fused with materials from the earth. From now on, the cases that accompany them will feature a natural, living, noble, sustainable and recyclable material: wood. A virtuous circle, an eco-friendly approach with the use of Oak wood that promotes short supply chains from its origin to its production. Cases with 98% eco-friendly components, incorporating recycled plastic and PET fabrics and threads, and recycled paper and cardboard with eco-sustainability labels. These boxes are recyclable from their material to their use, and can even be upcycled into timeless, decorative or multi-purpose objects. Their name is Green Box. The first 40,000 boxes will accompany the watches in our core collection.
