The outgoing commitment from executive management helps to embed a positive business continuity culture within the organization by demonstrating leadership and support for the business continuity management system (BCMS) and its objectives. Executive management is responsible for establishing the BCMS policy, ensuring the alignment of the BCMS with the organization’s strategic direction, providing the necessary resources for the BCMS, communicating the importance of the BCMS, and promoting continual improvement of the BCMS. Executive management also sets an example for the rest of the organization by being actively involved in the BCMS activities and ensuring accountability and responsibility for the BCMS performance. References: ISO 22301 Auditing eBook, page 27; ISO 22301:2019 standard, clause 5.1
