French term or phrase: une éthique qui lui fasse honneur
Document on rules of conduct for investment analysts.

"Les analystes sont tenus au respect :

§ de la législation en vigueur ;

§ du Code de déontologie professionnel de la Société Française des Analystes Financiers qui a fait l’objet d’une recommandation du Conseil des marchés financiers lors de sa séance du 19 mars 2003 ;

§ du règlement intérieur, des ses annexes et notes d’application et des procédures détaillées établies par XXX conformément à l'article L 533-6 du Code Monétaire et Financier, ainsi qu’aux articles 2-4-1,2-4-7, 2-4-8 et 3-2-5 du Règlement général du Conseil des Marchés Financiers .

L’analyste doit exercer ses activités selon une éthique qui lui fasse honneur ainsi qu'à sa profession. Il doit encourager les autres à faire de même autour de lui. "

"Should reflect well on.." is all I have come with so far. Any other ideas?

The analyst must carry out his/her [business] activities based on personal and professional ethics.

I still think business activities or activities can be used...

NOte to CMJ
In English, one says, a person is worthy of something..

a code of practice worthy of him..means that the code of practice is poor, or not good...he is better than the code of practice....I don\'t think that is meaning you had in mind, is it? But that is what your phrasing actually means...

A person can be worthy of someething:

IF you say, This gift - worthy of him - is very expensive. It means the gift is GOOD enough for him.

In the US, even if you work FOR someone, you are still engaging in a business activity

neutral  CMJ_Trans (X): in his case, you would need to talk about "exercising his profession" rather than "business activities" which give a quite different impression, but there you go...

  -> an analyst does engage in business activities..worthy of is a moral category and stylistically does not fit in this discourse
