Answer:

First step is to conduct GAP analysis to determine to what level your company is already compliant with the standard. The GAP analysis will provide you with answers on what needs to be done to achieve full compliance with the standard.

Once you determine what documents need to be created and what activities need to be performed, you should create a Project Plan where you will define all above mentioned as well as deadlines, responsibilities and resources. You can find a free sample of the Project Plan here https://advisera.com/14001academy/free-downloads/ . This step is not mandatory, however it will help you avoid missing something out.

Next step is to create all necessary documents, this includes the documents required by the standard itself and the documents that you find necessary to run your environmental management system and achieve intende d results. Here yo can use our documentation template which includes all mandatory documents together with most common documents used to set up the EMS (environmental management system) according to ISO 14001:2015.

Then you need to implement all the activities prescribed by the documentation into your daily business activities. Finally, you need to conduct internal audit and management review to ensure your system is compliant with ISO 14001 requirements. And then you can hire certification body to conduct certification audit and issue your company the certificate.
