Environmental initiatives / action / projects / strategies / considerations
Explanation:
取り組み is a rather catch-all phrase that can encompass several possible meanings.

I think for a website like the one you mention, something like

"Environmental action"
"Environmental initiatives"
or even
"[COMPANY NAME] and the Environment"

would work fine...

I personally like the 3rd one...sounds best in this context.

Good luck!
