ESTA works to a 20 Sector Model, which is a modified version of the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) System, to include things that the SIC doesnt yet consider directly such as biosphere restoration, personal development and growth, and the circular economy. The 20 Sector Model also makes the sectors more outcome focussed, moving away from the blind idea of supporting GDP growth (at any cost) and more towards working within the context of a collaborative framework that helps us all reach the goal of a more sustainable and balanced future.
This is more in keeping with our primary goal of building thriving local communites that help everyone reach theri full capacity as human beings whilst helping us live within the carrying capacity of the Planet.
