The survey

In cooperation with Cerved’s Centre of Economic Studies, journalist Michele Montemurro analysed 31.825 balance sheets (2016) of joint-stock companies with registered office in Lombardy and with a level of turnover/revenues ranging from 2 million to 19 billion Euros.

An algorithm ranked the companies by size based on the best gross operating margin, with positive Roe, considering profit-making enterprises with an employee base variation either constant or increasing with respect to the previous year.

During the event held in Milan, 59 Commendations were conferred for the best management performances, together with 19 Balance Mentions awarded at the provincial and regional level.
