"Für etwas gerade stehen" means "für etwas die Verantwortung übernehmen" (to take (the) responsibility for..) but a literal translation would strange in English. You could say "Quality without Compromise. That is our commitment."

That is our guarantee/ pledge. ... or : Guaranteed!
something like: Uncompromising quality. That is our guarantee/ pledge. (or: Guaranteed!) We owe it to ourselves, our customers, and our brands.
This is a free rendering but the meaning is all there. "Guarantee/ pledege" inherently implies that they will back up their promise with all that this involves.

should read: Guarantee/ pledge :)
