Sector
The glossary of statistical terms, published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), defines a sector as: ‘A general term used to describe a group of establishments (that) engage in similar kinds of economic activity. A sector can be a subgroup of an economic activity - as in “coal mining sector” - or a group of economic activities - as in “service sector” - or a cross-section of a group of economic activities - as in “informal sector”.’
PAS 2080:2023 Carbon management in buildings and infrastructure, second edition, published by The British Standards Institution in March 2023, defines a sector as a: ‘…collection of organizations involved in the delivery and operation of assets for the purpose of providing a service (e.g. energy, water, telecommunications).’
