English term or phrase: commit substantial capacity
XXX Group follows the general corporate governance principle of “comply or explain” and therefore applies the following criteria to evaluate the independence of its Board members. First and foremost, when searching for an external independent member of the Board, XXX Group looks for accomplished, distinctive and competent personalities who are respected based on their achievements. Moreover, they are selected based on their ability to contribute relevant professional skills, ****commit substantial capacity**** and add to the diversity of the Board in terms of background and unbiased perspectives. In our view, these selection criteria represent the essence of true independence.

Danke im Voraus!

Explanation:
Ich stimme Steffens Definition zu, aber 'einbringen' klingt mir ein bisschen zu harmonisch. Commitment signalisiert eine gewisse Dringlichkeit. Das müsste in der Formulierung vielleicht etwas stärker hervorgehoben werden.
