Tech/Engineering - Human Resources / Document on how to inprove Corporate Social Responsibility for a manufacturing company
Spanish term or phrase: vocación de permanencia
A nivel general podemos decir que el [nombre de empresa] ha demostrado en su hacer una ética profesional que se la puede considerar empresa socialmente responsable, su ***vocación de permanencia*** y su política de reinversión, su preocupación por aspectos medioambientales y de prevención de riesgos y las condiciones laborales, así lo avalan.

So the company has demonstrated itself to be socially responsible, and this is backed up by their... commitment / intention to...And then I'm not sure: I cannot find the translation for this term. I'm assuming it's their commitment to stick around in the long term. How do I say this in (British) English? Thanks in advance for your help.
