"In diesem Beitrag wird ein neues Instrument zur Implementierung von Unternehmensethik in international tätigen Unternehmen vorgestellt und kritisch evaluiert Es handelt sich um die Zertifizierung nach Social Accountability 8000. Unternehmen sollen aktiv ethische Verantwortung übernehmen, indem sie weltweit gültigen Sozialstandards folgen und dies durch unabhängige Prüfer zertifizieren lassen. Das Konzept weist bei der operativen Umsetzung in Unternehmen eine Vielzahl praktischer Vorteile auf. Eine theoretische Analyse zeigt allerdings, dass es dem Compliance-Ansatz folgt und insofern keinen Akt freiwilliger dialogischer Willensbildung (Integritäts-Ansatz) darstellt."

"This article presents a new instrument for the implementation of business ethics within multinational companies: the certification in compliance with the standards 'Social Accountability 8000' (SA 8000). SA 8000 is a global standard for workplace conditions and a system for independently verifying factories' compliance. SA 8000's acceptance has been growing because many major corporations know that their reputation and social accountability is a competitive asset. And, they are beginning to see it as an issue of risk management. After presenting the SA 8000 the article concludes with a critical evaluation from the perspective of business ethics in order to answer the following question: does SA 8000 actually represents a practicable instrument for the implementation of business ethics within multinational companies?"
