Wertschöpfung

English translation: ...(to be the underlying elements of) performance

German to English translations [PRO]
Marketing - Linguistics
German term or phrase: Wertschöpfung
Marketing for a (business) language training department:

"Wir verstehen Sprache(n) und Kommunikation als grundlegende Elemente der Wertschöpfung allen wirtschaftlichen Handelns im kommerziellen, nonprofit- und öffentlichen Sektor. "

I came up with this, but was trying to find something closer to the original. Any ideas?

"We understand language(s) and communication to be the underlying elements of
success in all business dealings within the commercial, non-profit and public sectors."
