Company Classification - ICB

FTSE has long been a pioneer in the area of classification, including the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB), a definitive system categorizing over 70,000 companies and 75,000 securities worldwide, enabling the comparison of companies across four levels of classification and national boundaries. The ICB system is supported by the ICB Database, an unrivalled data source for global sector analysis, which is maintained by FTSE International Limited.
