SICS Industry Sectors

Crop cultivation, livestock farming, fishing, aquaculture and forestry operations. High exposure to methane, nitrous oxide, and land-use change emissions.

Building construction, civil engineering, and specialized construction activities. Dominated by embodied carbon in materials and on-site diesel equipment.

Power generation, energy distribution, water supply, and waste management. Core infrastructure sectors with direct combustion and process emissions.

Gaming, recreation, sports, and leisure activities. Emissions driven by facility energy use, travel, and event operations.

Banking, capital markets, insurance, and asset management. Scope 3 financed emissions (Category 15) typically dominate the carbon footprint.

Hospitals, clinics, pharmaceuticals manufacturing, and healthcare services. Energy-intensive facilities with cold-chain logistics and medical waste processing.

Accommodation, food services, and tourism operations. Dominated by building energy, food supply chain, and guest-related consumption.

The largest sector group covering manufacturing from chemicals and electronics to food processing and textiles. Process emissions, purchased energy, and raw materials dominate.

Extraction of minerals, metals, coal, oil, and natural gas. Fugitive methane, diesel equipment, land disturbance, and process emissions are the primary sources.

Property development, management, and services. Building operational energy (HVAC, lighting) and embodied carbon in construction materials drive the footprint.

Wholesale distribution, retail trade, and e-commerce. Warehouse energy, fleet logistics, packaging, and cold-chain operations are key emission drivers.

Professional services, education, and marketing. Primarily office-based with emissions from building energy, business travel, and purchased goods/services.

IT services, data centers, software, telecommunications, and media. Data center energy, electronic equipment lifecycle, and network infrastructure emissions dominate.

Road, rail, maritime, and air transportation. Fuel combustion from vehicles, vessels, and aircraft is the primary emission source across all modes.
