German term (edited): einem pers�nlich gesetzten gesellschaftspolitischen Auftrag nachkommen
Selected

fulfill our the goal we have set ourselves on a social level

Would phrase something like this. I personally don't like "socio-political" in English except in high-flown academic texts. If this is in facct a politician talking or it's clear otherwise, I'd leave out the -political.

Alternatively, say: "set ourselves in terms of social policy"

Sorry: fulfill the goal we have set ourselves...
Peer comment(s):

agree Shane London : Yes. I like the "set ourselves in terms of social policy". I was going to suggest 'socio-political' but having read your comment I think you are right.
