1 Introduction

[Organization Name] is committed to establishing effective business continuity plans to protect its key business activities and meet its obligations to its stakeholders.

As part of this commitment the organisation has established a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) which complies with the requirements of the ISO22301 international standard for business continuity and will be seeking certification to this standard in the near future.

In line with the standard, it is essential that our business continuity objectives are consistent with our policies, measurable where practicable, communicated effectively within the organization (and outside where appropriate) and updated as part of the BCMS management review process.

Objectives will be based on a clear understanding of our business continuity requirements, including those from interested parties, and will consider the results of business impact and risk assessments carried out at various levels within the organization.
