To us, it’s also important to inspire customers to live sustainably through the use of our products and features. We have added 39 new sustainability built-in fields for our hotel clients.

Additionally, in a previous initiative we encourage clients to leave a review about Yext. In doing so, G2 would contribute $10 and Yext would donate an additional $90 to The Canopy Project with the goal of reforesting areas in dire need of rehabilitation. Yext raised $10,000 through this campaign, which equated to 10,000 trees.
By partnering with programs like Green Places, we’re creating a long-term sustainability action plan to reduce our carbon footprint and identify and implement specific solutions to help Yext operate in a more environmentally sustainable fashion.
Here at Yext, we encourage employees to give back to support their local communities. In 2021, we donated to and partnered with 7 nonprofit organizations. Through our Employee Resource Groups, Yexters are provided the opportunity to get involved with the community in causes they care about.
