Spanish term (edited): Nuestra empresa ha asumido conciencia preventiva y de mejora contínua

Our company has taken an approach that embraces both preventive awareness and continuous quality...

I'm not sure "proactive approach" works as a translation for "consciencia preventiva" since the former implies actual action and the latter denotes simply a mental activity.

See references.

Suerte.
