Don't know how to translate this term in the following sentence:
Klein- und Standardaufträge dominieren zwar zahlenmäßig, werden aber aufgrund des relativ begrenzten Auftragswertes nur begleitend zu dem Großauftrag oder zur allgemeinen Standortsicherung abgewickelt (Bild 8.2).
"securing of the location" does not sound very good in my ears but I can't think of anything else
Klein- und Standardaufträge dominieren zwar zahlenmäßig, werden aber aufgrund des relativ begrenzten Auftragswertes nur begleitend zu dem Großauftrag oder zur allgemeinen Standortsicherung abgewickelt (Bild 8.2).

Selected
general activities to secure the operation/subsidiary/site (in the longer term)
or: general activities to justify continuing operations (from a market point of view)
...to render "allgemeine Standortsicherung", provided it's about a business/company and one of its operations/subsidiaries/sites
"Standortsicherung" could also mean that the company is pursuing, beside its ordinary course of business, activities to obtain all necessary permits and approvals from relevant authorities in order to secure the operation in the long run.
Not sure which alternative fits best, though.
