Forming the basis...

French translation: Petite suggestion...

English term or phrase: Forming the basis...
"Forming the basis of everything we do internally and externally, our values will help from the one strong image which will help us to stand alone as a unique company with unlimited potential"

I am not sure I understand the meaning of this sentence (I suppose I am overcome by doubt!!!)

Any suggestion???

Thanks in advance

Constituant la base


Explanation:
... ou encore: "à la base"

Cela veut dire que les valeurs de l'entreprise sont la base de toutes leurs actions (en fait c'est à la gloire de l'esprit d'entreprise etc - très marketing!)

will help form


Explanation:
Olivier, pourrait-il s'agir d'une erreur et être "will help form" et non pas "from"
C'est ce à quoi j'ai tout de suite pensé.
Bonne chance

from/form


Explanation:
The source should read as:
[...]our values will help FORM the one strong image which will help us[...]

Sinon, c'est trop tortueux comme phrase.
