Abstract

Zivilgesellschaftliche Organisationen (ZGO) fungieren oft als Kritiker von Unternehmen. Dabei entsteht leicht der Eindruck, es bestehe ein grundsätzlicher Konflikt, so dass das Verhältnis zwischen ZGO und Unternehmen als Gegeneinander zu kennzeichnen sei. Demgegenüber entwickelt dieser Beitrag aus der Perspektive des gesellschaftstheoretischen Forschungsprogramms der Ordonomik die These, dass sowohl ZGO als auch Unternehmen wichtige Akteure für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung sind und dass sie in dieser Hinsicht zwei wichtige Gemeinsamkeiten aufweisen, so dass sich ihr Verhältnis auch als ein Miteinander kennzeichnen lässt: Erstens sind sie potentielle Promotoren gesellschaftlicher Lernprozesse. Zweitens können sie dieses Potential nur dann gemeinwohlförderlich zum Einsatz bringen, wenn sie sich innerhalb einer institutionellen Rahmenordnung bewegen, die etwaige Anreize für Fehlverhalten aussteuert.
