Low Carbon Sector
Introduction to the Low carbon environmental goods and services sector
The Low Carbon Environmental Goods and Services sector comprises products and services from across the economy, which actively enable a shift towards a green economy.
The LCEGS sector is considered an ‘umbrella’ or horizontal sector, crossing many other traditional sectors, counting products and services from those sectors which can reduce carbon emissions and improve the environment.
The sector is comprised of both core elements and those in the chain and network of supply, without whom the sector could not function.
As per the diagram, LCEGS activities from other sectors are counted, non-LCEGS activities are not, so we don’t include all aspects of Finance, only those involved in green finance for example.
