Spanish translation:Ley estadounidense sobre el compromiso empresarial con el medioambiente
Explanation:
Yo optaría por traducirlo directamente sin referencia en inglés, ya que parece por el contexto que se trata de un texto general de presentación de una empresa.

De ser un documento de carácter jurídico, sí añadiría entre paréntesis la referencia en inglés por si el lector necesita recabar información.

¡Espero que te sirva de ayuda!

Así o en cursiva, porque es el nombre propio de una ley. Si quieres, entre paréntesis, Ley empresarial de compromiso con el clima.

american business act on climate pledge
compromiso climático del empresariado estadounidense


Explanation:
Not a law, in fact. It is pledge by companies to act on climate change, so it reads American Business "Act on Climate" Pledge (my quote marks).

White House Launches American Business Act on Climate Pledge

Today at the White House, Secretary of State John Kerry and senior White House officials will host 13 of the largest companies from across the American economy who are standing with the Obama Administration to launch the American Business Act on Climate Pledge: Alcoa, Apple, Bank of America, Berkshire Hathaway Energy, Cargill, Coca-Cola, General Motors, Goldman Sachs, Google, Microsoft, PepsiCo, UPS, and Walmart. The companies making pledges as part of today’s launch represent more than $1.3 trillion in revenue in 2014 and a combined market capitalization of at least $2.5 trillion.
