Norwegian term or phrase: hederlig vandel
Hei!

I have come across this phrase. Though I understand it's meaning (being of reputable character), I would like to know how best to express it in British English (as it's needed for a legal text, referring to company directors):

" ha ført en hederlig vandel"

of good standing; a record of upright dealings
Explanation:
ha ført en hederlig vandel : is or are of good standing; has or have a (track) record of upright dealings; whose course of conduct is upstanding.- > accountancy-speak: 'up straight'.

vandel > behavio(u)r; conduct; handel og vandel : everyday dealings, Einar Haugen

'British English' - better steer clear of the term of 'habit & repute' in Scots law.
