The social responsibility of companies has an increasingly important role in their relationship with the environment, regardless of the object of activity. Green procurement plays an important role in achieving these objectives. Department of Engineering and Management of Technological Systems Drobeta Turnu - Severin organizes or participates periodically in meetings with employers or collaborators, in order to identify new educational requirements regarding the competencies and abilities of graduates.
