Syniverse Releases Second Annual Environmental, Social, and Governance Report

TAMPA, Fla., November 15, 2022 – Syniverse, “the world’s most connected company”®, today announced the publication of its second annual Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) Annual Report which details the Company’s ESG strategy and performance for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021.

Syniverse engaged multiple stakeholders for its second annual materiality assessment, including gathering the opinions of employees, investors, customers, and suppliers to better identify the topics that matter most to each audience. Full detail on the assessment and placement of the most material issues can be found within the report.
