The Fisheries Transparency Initiative (FiTI) is a global multi-stakeholder initiative. Its purpose is to increase transparency and participation in fisheries governance for the benefit of a more sustainable management of marine fisheries.
The central objective of the Committee is to provide a platform for public and private sector representatives to discuss potential improvements in areas such as procedures, processes, systems, and risk assessments, as well as to share the results of studies or proposals to improve trade facilitation and transparency in Customs management.
This initiative brings together the four leading firms in the metals technology industry for the exchange of best practice and knowledge in anti-corruption compliance and fair competition and related developments within the industry.
MTI is facilitated by the Basel Institute on Governance, which leads and organises meetings of the top compliance management of the four member companies, providing agendas, minutes, substantive contributions and benchmarking of elements of the companies' compliance programs.

The initiative will work to improve legal compliance within Chinese companies, make recommendations to improve compliance policy issued by governmental departments, and bring leaders from these groups into closer communication with one another.
