Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: 16th January 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Greenleaf & Co, we believe in complete transparency about our business practices and relationships. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we may earn income through various partnerships and what that means for you as a visitor or customer.
We are committed to providing honest, unbiased information about eco-friendly cleaning practices and products. Any financial relationships we maintain do not influence the integrity of our recommendations or the quality of our services.
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) guidelines and the Federal Trade Commission's requirements for endorsements and testimonials.
Affiliate Relationships
What Are Affiliate Programmes?
An affiliate programme is a marketing arrangement where we may earn a commission when you purchase products or services through links on our website. This commission comes from the company selling the product, not from you, and does not affect the price you pay.
Our Affiliate Participation
Greenleaf & Co may participate in affiliate programmes with various companies that align with our eco-friendly values, including:
- Sustainable cleaning product manufacturers and suppliers
- Eco-friendly home goods retailers
- Green living and environmental organisations
- Natural health and wellness providers
- Related service providers that share our commitment to sustainability
Commission-Based Links
Some links on our website may be affiliate links. When you click on these links and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help support our business and allow us to continue providing valuable information and services.
We only recommend products and services that we genuinely believe in and that align with our commitment to eco-friendly practices. Our recommendations are based on our own research, experience, and understanding of sustainable cleaning solutions, not on commission rates.
Financial Relationship Transparency
We maintain complete transparency about our financial relationships. If we have an affiliate relationship with a company whose products we recommend, we will clearly disclose this relationship. Our integrity and your trust are more important to us than any commission we might earn.
Product Recommendations and Reviews
Honest Assessments
All product recommendations on our website represent our honest opinions based on our professional experience and commitment to environmental sustainability. We only recommend products and brands that we use ourselves or that meet our high standards for eco-friendly cleaning.
No Paid Reviews
We do not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews or product endorsements. If a company provides us with a free product to review, we will disclose this clearly. Our reviews remain unbiased regardless of how we obtained the product.
Environmental Standards
Our primary consideration when recommending products is their environmental impact and effectiveness. We prioritise plant-based, biodegradable, and sustainably produced products that align with our company values.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial content is created independently from our business relationships. Commercial considerations do not influence our educational content, cleaning advice, or service recommendations.
Sponsored Content
Identification of Sponsored Content
From time to time, we may publish sponsored content or paid promotions on our website or through our communications. All sponsored content will be clearly labelled with terms such as "Sponsored," "Advertisement," "Paid Partnership," or similar designations.
Even when content is sponsored, we maintain editorial control and only partner with brands that align with our eco-friendly values and meet our quality standards.
Brand Partnerships
We may form partnerships with brands that share our commitment to sustainable, eco-conscious practices. These partnerships may involve compensation for promotional activities, but they do not compromise our integrity or the accuracy of information we provide.
Content Authenticity
All sponsored content reflects our genuine experience and honest assessment of the promoted products or services. We would never endorse something we don't believe in, regardless of compensation offered.
