endanger/jeopardize

Hello everybody!

Can you please read this sentence and see if it is OK?

Anybody who gets involved into this kind of business practice endangers/jeopardizes themselves because it is not only unethical, illegal but it can considerably jeopardize/endanger reputation and material status of the whole company.

I'm not sure that unethical is ok as well as ''material status of the company.''

Thank you

I'm not proficient in English but I'd say:

Anybody who gets involved into this kind of businessn practice endangers themselves because it is not only unethical, illegal, but it can considerably jeopardize the reputation of the whole company.

I think reputation already describes the status and fame of the company. So we can just drop the "material status
