Spanish term or phrase: hemos apostado decididamente
Ante las necesidades de nuestros clientes, hemos apostado decididamente por la Gestión Integral de Residuos en los últimos años, pasando por la valorización de todos los materiales recuperables y la minimización en la generación de los gastos de gestión de los no recuperables, apostando por la segregación de los residuos, cuestión cada vez más estratégica en las empresas actuales

I have consulted the glossary but I'm not sure if any of the answers fit in this context.

agree  María Eugenia Wachtendorff: Manuel, I think your suggestion would fit if they had just made the decision, but they are talking about something they did in recent years. This is a classic example of how misleading the Spanish "haber hecho" can be at times. ¡Saludos! mew
