"In diesem Beitrag untersuchen die Autoren den Prozess der globalen Standardisierung von Maßnahmen der Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Unter Rückgriff auf Theorieansätze des Neuen Soziologischen Institutionalismus unterscheiden sie hierbei zwischen der Breiten- und Tiefendimension von CSR-Standardisierungsprozessen. Am Beispiel des 'Equator Principles'- Standards in der internationalen Projektfinanzierungsindustrie zeigen sie auf, dass sich CSR-Standards innerhalb einer Industrie zwar rasch und weit verbreiten können (Breitendimension), dass jedoch erst diskursive Aushandlungsprozesse zwischen den beteiligten Akteuren mithin darüber bestimmen, ob und inwieweit die Außendarstellung mit der tatsächlichen Implementierung von Organisationspraktiken (Tiefendimension) in Einklang gebracht wird."

"In this paper, the authors examine the process of global corporate social responsibility (CSR) standardization. By drawing on neo-institutionalist theories they distinguish between the breadth and depth dimension of CSR standardization. Based on their empirical study of the 'Equator Principles', a CSR standard in the field of international project finance, they exemplify that CSR standards indeed can disseminate rapidly and widely within an industry (breadth dimension). However, they also show that their impact is contingent upon discursive negotiation processes that affect whether the formal adoption of a standard is perceived as meaningful and legitimate, in turn engendering the actual organizational implementation of practices (depth dimension)."
