For Durkheim, society itself is the source that makes norms sacred and binding

Evidence

But Durkheim also believed that social integration depended on normative integration—or, as Pierre Bourdieu has recently put it, that “logical integration is the pre-condition of moral integration.” “Normative” integration depended in turn on the strength or weakness of the norms in society—or what Durkheim called the conscience collective . But the source of the norms and rules was society itself . Thus logical categories had society as their source of origin. It was “society”—the source of the normative—which made the rules “sacred,” and therefore binding, and “society” which men worshipped. — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 355
