[to achieve positive] sector performance
In this context, 'results' seems unnecessary. Your document seems a bit wordy. This is the third question you've posted recently where I felt that one word would have been more effective than several.
If you want to keep 'results', then your own answer is fine.

: Source text says "DEL sector". So probabilities are that it is referring to a specific sector in particular. Uhmm... only the asker can say for sure.

English tends to use more compact chunks than Spanish. Often, a longer phrase in Spanish such as "resultados positivos (1) + en el desempeño (2) + del sector (3)" becomes more compact in English: "positive performance results (1) + in the relevant sector (2)"

Discussion
I agree with Muriel. Unfortunately, and as I've seen the wording of the document in some parts is confusing and in others ambiguous.
Again, thank you very, very much for your answers.
