Italian term or phrase: le sue priorità

For the website of a company that produces plant based supplements. Listing the company's core values:

RISPETTO
Il rispetto per la natura e le sue priorità. La capacità di collaborare con l'ambiente in modo da apprenderne i segreti e utilizzarli in rispetto di tutti.

Not sure exactly what 'priorità' means in this case. Any thoughts?

its priorities

Explanation:
I think a literal translation works perfectly well. Nature's main priorities are to survive and reproduce, and we have the ability to interfere with these.

its significance

Explanation:
I'm not sure, priorita' is also used with the meaning of needs (or even goals) but in this case maybe importance is better

a. Il venire prima di altro o di altri, a causa dell’importanza, del grado, della dignità; il possedere un valore fondamentale, o superiore rispetto ad altro: riconoscere, ribadire la p. dei valori etici.

its wellbeing, its welfare

Explanation:
THis is pretty vague language. Have you any more hints what direction this is going in? Organic farming? Or are they trying to imply organic without actually doing it?

I'm aware that my suggestion is not exactly what the Italian text says, but I think this is what is implied. Nature's wellbeing, respect for the wellbeing of life, is much more than allowing plants to survive and reproduce. It means making surethe are healthy and well, and this means that priorities have been respected.
