CorporateResearch is a crawler operated by ClimaTax, a Swiss non-profit association based in Zurich that campaigns for a global carbon tax. Its documentation states that the bot collects publicly available news and regulatory publications for research into corporate environmental, social and governance conduct, checking RSS, Atom and JSON feeds roughly hourly and then fetching the article pages linked from those feeds once each with deduplication. The page states that the bot does not access paywalled content, logins or protected resources, does not submit forms or create accounts, and invites site owners to request a slower crawl rate. ClimaTax publishes no IP ranges and no reverse DNS hostnames for this crawler, and the page does not state a robots.txt policy.

How Centinel checks it

User agent: The request calls itself this crawler. Anyone can send the same string.

ClimaTax CorporateResearch publishes nothing Centinel can check a source against, so a match reports the name and leaves the source unconfirmed. The match tokens, verification domains, and address feeds are not published here.

Allowing or blocking it

The crawler object in the /validate response sets access_allowed to true only for a verified source that your tenant allowlists. A policy rule can allow or block this crawler by its category, Research.
