How do you improve your Trust Factor?

Because there is no official information on how Trust Factor actually works, there is no easy answer to this. However, there are some things you can do to improve your overall Trust Factor in CS2 and Steam in general. A good start is to be a positive member of the CS2 Steam community. Playing CS2 or other Steam games and taking part in Steam discussions will signal that you are an active member of the community. 

Be on your best behavior in-game, especially in Prime and Competitive Matchmaking. Getting frequently reported will negatively impact your Trust Factor. The System does not care if you actually did what others reported you for, just that you got reported. So try not to abuse voice/text communications, and do not shoot your teammates. Making your Profile on Steam public will also help with reports. When most players get suspiciously killed, they instinctively go and check their killer’s profile. If that profile is Private they will most likely report the player.
