Depeche Mode and Hublot
Since the first partnership in 2010, Hublot and Depeche Mode have collaborated a number of times to support causes that both care deeply about. The past partnerships in support of The Teenage Cancer Trust and charity: water raised funds and awareness for childhood cancer research and brought clean water to developing communities around the world. With this new partnership, the shared goal becomes making tangible change toward sustainability, waste reduction, and environmental clean-up.
In addition, in conjunction with Live Nation's Green Nation team, Depeche Mode and Hublot will also support programs on tour and at the venues focusing on limiting use of single-use plastics, improved recycling, food and other waste reduction, and other sustainability-related initiatives.
Supporting Conservation Collective
Together, Hublot and Depeche Mode are supporting and raising funds for Conservation Collective to tackle global plastic pollution at the grassroots.
Conservation Collective supports locally-led environmental foundations around the world; protecting and restoring the wild places we know and love. Depeche Mode and Hublot are proud to support their ethos: 'local action for global change.'
Why focus on plastic?
Because plastic pollution is one of the world's most pressing environmental issues. From production to disposal, plastics unleash widespread havoc on human, plant and animal health. In the Mediterranean alone 33,800 plastic bottles enter the sea every minute. Plastic waste enters our ecosystems and clogs land, air, and waterways.
It has even entered human body systems. In recent scientific trials, microplastics were even detected in 77% of tests on human bloodstreams.
Plastic is a global problem and every country must be part of the solution: from grassroots to government action. By coming together to tackle plastic pollution, we are on a mission to show that change is possible with collective action.

The Approach
Our collaboration focuses on tackling global plastic pollution through community-led action. Thanks to Depeche Mode & Hublot funding, each grassroots Foundation in the CC network can pioneer scalable projects and launch anti-plastic strategies that will live on for years to come.
The work takes 3 different approaches, led by the bottom-up needs of each region's unique challenges:
Each approach inspires local communities to get involved: from community action to campaigning, all while inspiring research, education and policy-changing activities.

About Conservation Collective
Conservation Collective is an environmental charity on a mission to protect and restore the wild places we all know and love. Since 2008, our global network has launched, funded and grown 20 Foundations where they create the most impact: on the ground. Because those most affected by environmental problems are also those best placed to solve them. With Founder Ben Goldsmith at the helm, our nature restoration work now spans from Devon to Mallorca to Sri Lanka, dispersing millions to grassroots groups in the process, and we are set to launch five more foundations by 2025.

About Hublot
FHublot is a Swiss watch manufacturer founded in 1980 and based in Nyon. For its first ever timepiece, this fundamentally disruptive company combined gold with a rubber strap in a case with a design inspired by a ship's porthole (hublot in French). Thus, the Art of Fusion was born, blending tradition, innovation, craftsmanship, worlds and talents. It became the brand's aesthetic and technical signature.
This identity was strengthened in 2005 with the Big Bang, which attested to an unrivalled know-how in terms of complications, manufacture movements and state-of-the-art materials. Carbon, titanium, ceramic and sapphire have been developed on this model to technical extremes.
This ground-breaking, high-quality approach to watchmaking is summed up in its philosophy 'Be First, Unique and Different.' It gradually led to other collections with innovative designs: Classic Fusion, Spirit of Big Bang, Square Bang and Manufacture Pieces. These draw on high levels of craftsmanship, both in terms of the materials so dear to Hublot (such as Magic Gold, brightly-coloured ceramics and sapphires) and its manufacture movements (Unicochronograph, Meca-10 and high complications such as the Tourbillon, the Cathedral Minute Repeater and the specific Manufacture Pieces movements).
Hublot's world extends to powerful partnerships including football. 'Hublot Loves Football' has become the slogan at the world's biggest sporting events (such as the FIFA World Cup™, Premier League, UEFA Champions League, UEFA EURO™) and through its ambassadors. This love of football continues in art, design, music, sport, fine dining and sailing. Lastly, Hublot's implication in joint environmental projects with SORAI and Polar Pod reflects its concern for the issues of the day.
Over 130 boutiques around the world share Hublot's fervour and values, alongside the Hublot.com e-commerce site.
