FileVault is the built-in encryption software for Macs.  FileVault recovery is the process by which you can restore access to a FileVault-protected drive if you cannot unlock the drive normally.

Select Devices in the left menu and choose your computer

To view your recovery key, choose Get recovery key

If you enabled FileVault before joining the Company Portal, you can safely store your recovery keys in the Microsoft Management Portal.  Choose Store Recover Key to upload your recovery keys.
