Methodology · Classification
The ISIC–ENCORE concordance
ENCORE describes the economy in its own categories, called production processes. To make screening usable, each was linked to ISIC groups.
ISIC Rev. 4
The UN’s reference classification, structured in four levels: sections (e.g. Manufacturing), divisions (e.g. Manufacture of textiles), groups and classes.
Manual concordance
UNEP-WCMC and SBTN teams linked production processes to ISIC groups manually, supported by background research. One group can map to several processes, and vice versa.
Group–process pairs
The v1 dataset contains 372 group–process pairs across 20 ISIC sections and 226 ISIC groups, with 86 distinct production processes.
Other classifications
The original SBTN workbook includes a crosswalk from ISIC to NACE (EU) and GICS, useful for companies that report in those systems.
