In the first place, the existing environmental management in Licto parish was analyzed, for which the documentary research method was applied, secondary information was used, mainly from the current Territorial Planning and Development Plan of the parish and through the direct observation method. Semi-structured interviews were carried out and compliance with the basic requirements of ISO 14001: 2015 was evaluated, which allowed collecting necessary information such as: activities carried out by the organization, members that make it up, hours and days of operation, projects related to the subject. in the study area, that is, data that provide a context of the organization. To prepare the EMS, the non-conformities and the needs of the organization were identified, covering each requirement required by the ISO 14001: 2015 standard and adapting them to their activities. The results showed that there is no environmental management in the parish, presenting four non-conformities related to the management of organic and inorganic waste.
