Version Two is correct.
After commitment we use the preposition 'TO'
After a preposition 'to' we use the gerund tense 'verb+ing'
(This use of 'to' is not to be confused with the infinitive, to provide.)

I've been looking for some exception for this use but I haven't found any yet. So for the moment I would say No.
