Code chain new continent limted is screened out under 2 exclusion reasons spanning 1 issue category.
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. It is a statement of values.
Code Chain New Continent Limited, now operating as GD Culture Group Limited, is a wholesale trader of thermal coal and coke. Its primary business segment is coal wholesale, which includes the sales, storage, transportation, and processing of steam coal. The company’s corporate filings and business descriptions consistently identify coal and coke wholesale as a core operational focus.
The company has been subject to regulatory scrutiny and litigation. It was formerly a blank check company and has faced litigation concerning intellectual property rights violations. While specific financial breakdowns of its coal operations are not detailed in the gathered evidence, its public corporate identity and reported business activities are centered on the thermal coal trade.
Code Chain New Continent Limited is excluded due to its involvement in the fossil fuel industry. The company’s specific business activities place it within the broader fossil fuel ecosystem, though the available evidence does not specify whether its role is in upstream extraction, midstream transportation, downstream refining, or ancillary services. This classification is pending a more detailed operational review to determine the precise nature and scale of its fossil fuel involvement.
General industry analysis indicates that fossil fuel companies face increasing legal and regulatory scrutiny, with climate litigation cases tripling since the Paris Agreement. A growing number of legal challenges worldwide now target state approvals for new fossil fuel projects, and courts in multiple jurisdictions are mandating comprehensive environmental impact assessments for such developments. Furthermore, research documents a historical pattern within the sector of promoting strategic discourses that can obstruct meaningful climate action.
This record requires updated, company-specific evidence to clarify Code Chain New Continent Limited's exact business model, revenue exposure, and any documented misconduct related to its fossil fuel operations.

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.
