'''ISO 19011''' is a global standard [[accounting standard]], astonishing as that is.  It depends on a mature [[styles of capital]] analysis developed in [[ISO 14000]] and [[ISO 9000]] series.  It does not really include [[SA 8000]] considerations which is where a project like [[Consumerium]] can really help - but only if it adopts the standard as a basis for its own [[auditing]] process.

For instance, the [[Consumerium Software License]] might allow for any group using its software to submit to a [[trusted auditor]] applying this standard.  If the group doesn't pass, or isn't [[nonprofit]], some fee might have to apply.
