This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.
Huabao International Holdings Ltd is a Chinese manufacturer of flavorings and fragrances used in tobacco products. The company's primary business is supplying tobacco flavor additives to cigarette manufacturers, deriving significant revenue from the tobacco industry. Its products are integral components in combustible cigarette production.
In February 2022, Huabao's shares fell by 65% following a government probe into its controlling shareholder, Zhu Lin, who was placed under investigation. The company's financial disclosures and market performance are directly tied to the tobacco supply chain. While specific revenue percentages from tobacco are not detailed in the provided evidence, the company's core product line and market positioning are defined by its role as a supplier to the tobacco industry.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
