Translation of "building the sense of concern of others and what surrounds us"

Question

I am trying to translate a French phrase*, which literally says:

Building the sense of concern of those and what surround us

Or, in "better" English:

Building the sense of concern of others and what surrounds us

Context: this is a kind of "mission" for a group. It's supposed to include the idea of raising awareness about social and ecological responsibility. The idea I am trying to convey in:

• building the sense of concern of others should mean caring more for the people around us

• building the sense of concern of what surrounds us should mean caring more for the environment-nature

Does it sound OK in English?

Any other suggestions?

In French: Contruire le souci de ceux et ce qui nous entoure.

Answer 1

Purely translating the phrase as I see it, given the information in the question, would give:

Building a sense of concern for those and that which surrounds us

However, this is cumbersome at best. Something like:

Raising awareness of the environment and those in it

would be more elegant given its intended use as a slogan.

However, it is not entirely clear who 'those in it' are. Given that 'the environment' carries connotations of the natural world, it would not be an unreasonable assumption that 'those in it' meant animals, rather than the intended sense of fellow human beings.

Edit: based on your comment regarding conveying a sense of concern, you could say:

Promoting care for people and the environment

or simply

Caring for people and the environment
