Hallo,
ich hab diesen Satz zu übersetzen und ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich den Satz richtig verstanden habe bzw. welche wäre in diesem Fall der entsprechende Ausdruck im Englischen.

Danke!!!

Vor dem Hintergrund der Einführung eines neuen Gesetzes im Jahr 1999, demzufolge Banken in Italien keine Anteile von Unternehmen besitzen dürfen, die nicht direkt im Finanzsektor tätig sind, wurde die Firma an eine Stiftung verkauft, die der Cassa di Risparmio in Bologna gehört. ENTSPRECHEND ist die Gesellschaft heute gemeinnützig und reinvestiert die gesamten Gewinne in die Forschung und das Wachstum des Unternehmens.

Accordingly / therefore
Explanation:
"Entsprechend" in this context provides more information about the previous sentence, so I would use "accordingly". "Therefore" would also be a less literal but possibly more logical option.
