foundation of trust


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

sincerity and trust


Explanation:
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.

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