English term or phrase: transcend mere box-checking

• Social factors have traditionally played third fiddle to their environmental and governance counterparts in many approaches to responsible, sustainable investing.
• The COVID-19 pandemic and its far-reaching impacts have challenged this norm by highlighting the persistence of social and economic inequality in the 21st century.
• The tragedy of George Floyd, whose death during a police arrest sparked anti-racism protests around the world, has further underscored this enduring scourge.
• These crises represent an opportunity to promote socially responsible investment solutions that help address inequality-related issues through the prism of ESG.
• Active ownership is vital to ensuring that the necessary organizational responses ***transcend mere box-checking*** and are genuinely geared towards the greater good.
• If properly devised and implemented, socially responsible solutions square moral and fiduciary duties by potentially enhancing both ESG performance and financial performance.

Vorläufige Lösung:

Aktives Eigentum ist eine wesentliche Voraussetzung, damit die erforderlichen von den Unternehmen getroffenen Maßnahmen ***über reine Lippenbekenntnisse hinausgehen*** und wirklich dem allgemeinen Wohl dienen.

Findet ihr das ok?

German translation:nicht nur pro forma abgehakt werden

Explanation:
Ich denke, ich würde in diese Richtung gehen:
"... damit die von den Unternehmen getroffenen Maßnahmen nicht nur pro forma abgehakt werden, sondern tatsächlich etwas bewirken."
"... damit die von den Unternehmen getroffenen Maßnahmen tatsächlich dem Gemeinwohl dienen und nicht nor pro forma (als notwendiges Übel) abgehakt werden."
