The Sectors and Industries section of your company on Dunsguide is determined using SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) codes and their corresponding subcategories.
What are SIC codes?
SIC codes are a standard system that classifies industries and companies into specific categories based on the type of economic activity they perform. Each SIC code is a four-digit number that represents a particular industry. For example, one SIC code might identify a company involved in chemical manufacturing, while another code might identify a company in the financial services sector.
How are SIC codes used on Dunsguide?
When you claimed or created your company's profile on Dunsguide, a SIC code was assigned to you based on your company's primary activity.
