Ahora las organizaciones comienzan a darse cuenta de que la diversidad no es sólo algo como lo que deben lidiar, sino, más bien, una realidad que deben aprovechar para crear una empresa más fuerte y competitiva. En otras palabras, el contexto ambiental contemporáneo de la diversidad ya no es “algo secundario” o una ocurrencia tardía en el estudio del comportamiento organizacional sino que desempeña un papel fundamental en el ambiente actual...

climate
Explanation:
I would render it something like "today's climate of diversity" or "the current climate of diversity," both of which get a healthy number of hits.

I don't think you need both words, as the meaning is clear with just climate.

context


Explanation:
I would ignore ambiental - it adds nothing to context and environmental is misleading

context surrounding


Explanation:
Just another suggestion (i.e., "contemporary context surrounding") in case you don't want to drop the "ambiental" entirely as suggested in the other answers.
