Global value chain (GVC) capitalism has taken a peculiar social form and produces conflicts which are in the blind spot of political institutions as well as classical legal doctrine. This paper addresses the lack of legal concepts reflecting the systemic nature of GVCs as a key challenge for their regulation. Innovative governance alternatives originate bottom-up in civil society, rather than through legislation. In particular, third-party certification may be an instrument that matches GVCs as regulatory subjects and embodies a tailored concept of responsibility. While the current proliferation of such schemes and their diverging degree of rigidity has raised concerns, certification represents an indispensable building-block of transnational regulation. Transnational law must carefully trace the regulatory logic and flank the emergence of such social institutions reflexively. Only then can the scholarly endeavour of ‘transnational law’ rise to the challenge of projecting and rearranging guarantees of political autonomy beyond the state
