laudable

/lɔːdəbl/adjective

Deserving praise or admiration.

Example sentences

“Volunteering at the shelter every weekend is a laudable commitment.”
“The charity's efforts to feed the homeless are truly laudable.”

Faint praise is a risk: 'a laudable attempt' often introduces a 'but'. The verb 'laud' survives mainly in headlines.
