以下几本汉英字典对诚信给出的译文全都是 good faith，而且仅给出 good faith 这一个译文，这也是商业上常用的译法。

诚信 good faith

I feel that "honesty" is a more accurate translation of the term.

"good faith" is fine. I think the phrase "foundation of trust", which means exactly the same thing, might be a little more eloquent.

The full phrase (or sentence): We build our business (or enterprise) on sincereity and trust.

港 means honesty, freedom from falsehood and freedom from pretensions.
獺 is trust. Unlike such words as reliable or faithful or trustworthy (in one direction), trust is two-directional. You can be trusted, and you trust others.

"Good faith" is a good answer too, but I like "faithful" better.

\"Loyal\" is another good word too, I think.
