| Description | This chapter evaluates the claim that standardization could prove an effective means for making private enterprise socially responsible. It presents an historical overview of private enterprise's real and imagined relationship with moral responsibility, to show how successive attempts to make this troubled relationship work eventually ended up in various proposals for instilling SR in corporations from outside them. The chapter looks at the emergence of standardization as a technology of government in order to test its likely effectiveness in tackling a very old problem that now threatens every living being on the planet the impact of private, self-interested calculations on the needs of others, and on the resources and environments that human beings and all other species have to share. The business case for shouldering social responsibility would become a vital part of International Organization of Standardization (ISO's) motivation for undertaking its own SR project and a key argument with which it eventually won over its corporate stakeholders.
