Su punto de vista es importante e influye (en) nuestra norma.

Your views are important and shape policy.
"To shape" means to give a particular form to; to create; to develop; to affect.
The sentence seems to be used in the context of providing feedback to a company, and is saying that the views of the customer are important because the management will take those views into consideration in forming the company's policies in the future.
Maybe:
Su punto de vista es importante y influye nuestra norma.
Su punto de vista es importante. Formará las decisiones de principio.
or it may need the subjunctive
Su punto de vista es importante. Forme las decisiones de principio
