About DadApproved.
DadApproved is a sustainability-focused platform born out of the need for thoughtful, informed consumerism. We believe that small, intentional choices can have a significant impact on the future of our planet. Our mission is to empower you to make smarter, more sustainable shopping decisions by providing trusted recommendations for eco-friendly and ethically sourced products.
From our perspective, the name DadApproved represents three levels of approval for the products we endorse. In many cultures, God, the Creator of the universe, is referred to as “Father,” and the name DadApproved reflects our belief that the products we endorse should align with the balance and sustainability inherent in all life on Earth, as designed by the Creator. The Earth, which nurtures life through its natural elements and atmosphere, is often symbolised as “Mother Nature.” We believe our actions and choices should mirror these qualities, fostering harmony and sustainability. Lastly, just as parents seek the best for their children, at DadApproved, we approach product recommendations with the same care, ensuring each product is safe for both consumers and the environment.
Together, these principles guide us in curating products that not only meet the highest standards of quality and sustainability but also reflect our deep commitment to the well-being of both people and the planet. We believe the name DadApproved perfectly aligns with our mission to provide recommendations for sustainable and eco-friendly products that are beneficial for life on Earth.

Our strategy
Our company is committed to transforming the way consumers shop by offering carefully curated, science-backed, and ethically-sound product suggestions. We go beyond surface-level recommendations by rigorously examining products at every stage to ensure they align with sustainability, safety, and ethical values. Here’s how we enhance the customer experience and select the products we recommend.
- Thorough Scrutiny of Products and Materials: We examine the full life cycle of each product, from raw material sourcing to end-of-life disposal. Our team evaluates whether materials are biodegradable, recyclable, or ethically sourced, and we reject products containing harmful chemicals, such as toxic plastics and non-renewable resources, informing our audience about their potential risks to health and the environment.
- User-Generated Insights and Community Feedback: We gather and analyse customer reviews and ratings from various platforms, considering both positive and negative feedback. This ensures our suggestions are grounded in real-world experiences, helping consumers make informed decisions.
- Scientific Research and Evidence-Backed Recommendations: All products we suggest are cross-checked with scientifically validated research. We ensure that recommended products have minimal negative impacts on health and the ecosystem.
- Ethical Values and Regulatory Compliance: We prioritise products from companies that adhere to ethical labor practices, transparency in sourcing, and compliance with environmental and social regulations. Certifications like B Corp, Fair Trade, and ISO 14001 help ensure that these companies uphold sustainability and social responsibility.
- Certifications and Third-Party Testing: We recommend products that have been independently tested and certified by reputable organisations, such as Fair Trade, GOTS, and EcoCert. We also keep an up-to-date list of relevant certifications like cruelty-free, vegan, and zero-waste, helping customers easily identify products that align with their values.
- Support for Sustainable Manufacturing Practices: We focus on products from companies that invest in sustainable manufacturing, such as using renewable energy, reducing waste, and implementing circularity. We celebrate brands that offer repair services, up-cycling, or use eco-friendly packaging alternatives like compostable materials and refillable options.
- Transparency and Traceability: We prioritise brands that offer full traceability of their supply chains, ensuring customers can verify the ethical sourcing of materials and the integrity of production processes, from raw materials to the final product.
- Educational Content and Consumer Empowerment: Our mission is to empower customers by providing educational content—articles, comparison charts, and actionable tips—on how to choose eco-friendly products and understand their environmental and health impacts. We also highlight emerging trends in sustainability and offer practical ways to incorporate them into daily life.
By prioritising ethical practices, scientific validation, and transparency, our strategy aims to enhance the shopping experience and help consumers make informed, sustainable choices that benefit both their health and the planet. We are committed to leading the way toward a more eco-conscious future.
