In the ranking of the best performing countries in terms of responsible restructuring of the companies, Italy is in the 6 th place. Behind France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway and Austria. But ahead of Germany and Spain. This means that Italian enterprises have succeeded, better than others, in minimizing the impact of the economic crisis on their staff, operating more content cuts and trying to enhance their employees. They also demonstrated greater transparency, involving the social partners in their decisions. In contrast with the majority of the European entrepreneurs who have chosen the “downsizing” as a real remedy against recession. This is the comforting result of a research carried out by the company of services “Vigeo” on a sample of 363 European quoted on the Stock Exchange companies, of which 20 are Italian, which was presented during a conference held in Milan on the initiative of Altis (High school of business and society of the Catholic University) and Isvi (Institute for the business values ).

The sector which showed the worst results was that of tourism. Better performances, however, for the banking, mining, insurance, automotive and chemical ones.
