Abstract
This chapter describes the development of the curriculum of an academic course on standardisation management integrated in an innovation management masters at a business school . In turns out that the systematic way of designing this curriculum automatically leads to inclusion of sustainability aspects: most of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals get attention. This makes the chapter relevant not only for developing standardisation courses but also for integration of standardisation in sustainability courses.
