You can use the LSEG Data Library for Python to retrieve the The Refinitiv Business Classification (TRBC) codes associated with a company. The standard is used by LSEG to classify business establishments for economic analysis.

To do acquire the data, pass a company’s Refinitiv Instrument Code to the get_data method with a request for TRBC related fields.

Here’s a query for Thomson Reuters:

ld.get_data(
    'TRI.N',
    fields=[
        # Basic stuff
        "TR.CommonName",
        "TR.TickerSymbol",
        # TRBC codes
        "TR.TRBCEconSectorCode",
        "TR.TRBCEconomicSector",
        "TR.TRBCBusinessSectorCode",
        "TR.TRBCBusinessSector",
        "TR.TRBCIndustryGroupCode",
        "TR.TRBCIndustryCode",
        "TR.TRBCIndustry",
