English term or phrase: reflect poorly on
...statements detrimental to [Company] or that reflect poorly on us as its representatives.

"som speglar dåligt på oss som dess representanter", säger maskinöversättningen, men det funkar ju icke, dock just nu står det still...

that present us in negative light


Explanation:
I'd need more context but it seems that it'd be fine 'that present us in negative light/negative to us as its representatives' or sth similiar

sätter någon i dåligt ljus


Explanation:
I det sammanhanget uppfattar jag uttrycket "reflect poorly on" som synonym till "put someone in a bad light" på engelska om jag inte har fel.
Översatt på svenska: "sätter någon i dåligt ljus".
Översättningen av hela frasen skulle låta såhär:
"...uttalanden som misskrediterar [Företaget] eller som sätter oss i dåligt ljus som dess representanter."
Hoppas det hjälper dig att fortsätta med din översättningen..
