Italian term or phrase: siamo noi in primis a farcene carico
I'm stuck with this one, thanks for your suggestions!

La nostra azienda ci piace definirla un organismo agricolo diversificato. Organismo perché tutto deve essere in equilibrio per la buona salute delle colture e di noi agricoltori. Questo equilibrio è sinonimo di sostenibilità, ***siamo noi in primis a farcene carico***, per il futuro del pianeta e delle nuove generazioni.

My attempt: This balance is synonymous with sustainability and ***it is our job to ensure it***, for the future of the planet and future generations.

the forefront

at/in the forefront of (doing) sth The company is at the forefront of developing new technology to address CO2 emissions.

So it would go something like this:

This equilibrium/balance...is synonymous with sustainability and it is at the forefront of all our work...

Probably "protecting" rather than "safeguarding".

we actively take the responsibility for that


Explanation:
I would see "in primis" as a proactive approach of the firm - we "ourselves" take this care (no need for others to remind us, for example new laws)
