Hück is committed as an ambassador for the Respekt! against discrimination against groups of people such as homosexuals or foreigners.

He is a board member of the Wiedeking Foundation, which supports, among other things, the youth welfare center Sperlingshof, where Hück grew up, and the Seehaus Leonberg , an institution for young offenders.

On November 16, 2013 he got into the ring for a benefit boxing match against the former professional boxer Luan Krasniqi in the MHPArena in Ludwigsburg under the motto “bruises for social purposes” . The proceeds from the event went to the Hück Learning Foundation , which helps socially disadvantaged children and young people, as well as an SOS Children's Village in Pristina supported by Luan Krasniqi .

In 2017 he received the Federal Cross of Merit for his social commitment .

On February 4, 2019, he resigned as Chairman of the Works Council and Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Porsche AG and as a member of the VW Supervisory Board. He announced that he would go into politics. First he wanted to run for the Pforzheim municipal council with his own list (not for the SPD, of which he is a member). In this context, he criticized the political discussion about driving bans, speed limits and fuel taxes and declared his sympathy with the yellow vests movement .

In May 2019 there was a house search at Hück in connection with investigations into excessive payments to works councils. In July 2019, Manager Magazin reported that the internal audit department had been investigating Hück since 2016 and accused him of a number of (albeit non-criminal) irregularities. In January 2020, Business Insider announced that Hück would continue to be paid by Porsche even after his departure.
