The survey samples businesses that operate in four industries, based on Standard Industrial Classification Section B- Mining and quarrying Standard Industrial Classification Section C- Manufacturing Standard Industrial Classification Section D- Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply Standard Industrial Classification Section E- Water supply; sewerage, waste management and remediation activities Questionnaires are sent to the selected businesses.
