I think that this best reflects the meaning in Hebrew.
However, you might have posted the question in the wrong language pair.

בטוח מבחינה סביבתית


Explanation:
הייתי רוצה לראות את המשפט. כאופציה אני יכולה להציע גם "הגיוני מבחינה סביבתית", אבל זה יותר ברור מההקשר.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi NataSogo. I DID give the full hrase in my question. Here it is again: "XXX has a real commitment to running their business in a responsible, environmentally sound and sustainable manner."

Asker: Thanks a lot! I really liked both your answers (they correspond well to "safe and sound" and "in sound mind"),but at the end I chose "מתחשב בסביבה", which worked better in the context of my job.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks a lot! I really thought I'd take it for a while, but I also had "environmentally friendly" in the text around this part, so at the end I went with "מתחשב בסביבה", which worked better in the context of my job.

neutral  Shai Navé: As far as I know this means "Environmentally friendly". The difference, to my best knowledge, is that environmentally sound is the philosophy/policy and commitment to be take the environment into consideration, and environmentally friendly is the product

neutral  Textpertise: Something environmentally friendly may be a fad of the Green lobby but the masses won't accept it. Environmentally sound, on the other hand, implies balance and sustainability, solid, reasoned proposals that will stand the test of time.
