Provide feedback securely with flexible privacy modes
Open consultations
The importance of engagement
Traditional public consultation channels often fail to reach the most affected communities.
Feedback goes unrecorded
Community input arrives through scattered meetings, emails, and one-off forms — with no structured, trackable record of what was raised.
Speaking up carries risk
Without a safe, anonymous channel, the people most affected often stay silent for fear of exposure or retaliation.
No one closes the loop
Communities rarely learn whether their feedback was received, reviewed, or acted on.
Silence does not equal agreement: why communities do not engage
Fear of retaliation or exposure
Speaking up can feel dangerous when your identity isn’t protected.
Belief nothing will change
When earlier feedback vanished without a reply, why try again?
Inaccessible channels
Consultations are often far away, online-only, or announced on short notice.
Language barriers
Documents and forms rarely come in the community’s own language.

Learn how Iris helpsThe value of listening
Effective stakeholder engagement is essential for project success and risk management.
A real voice for communities
People can contribute publicly, privately to the bank, or anonymously — and follow what happens next.
Earlier risk signals for the bank
Structured feedback surfaces concerns while they are still straightforward to address.
A transparent accountability trail
Every submission carries a status — received, under review, responded — so feedback can be tracked from submitted to addressed.
Stronger, less contested projects
Genuine engagement reduces conflict, delays, and reputational risk.
