Please note that ISO 27001 requires that documents must be approved, and the organizational information presented in the templates only identifies who was involved in the creation and approval process.
Signing the document, either physical or electronic, is one way to ensure it was approved by authorized person, but if you can provide another way to ensure this proper approval you can delete the parts of the text about signature.
For example, for electronic documents, if you use a document management system (DMS), most probably it has an approval feature that can be used to evidence proper approval.
For physical documents, the use of personalized stamps or seals can substitute the signature.
