It can be either. With 'executed', I think it is more common to say 'an order was executed by [someone]'. As in, 'the order was executed by the government' or 'the order was executed by the President'. But you can also say 'carried out by ___'.

@sydd What about this contekst?
Our orders are … with the utmost care, taking advantage of the wide capabilities of our equipment and machinery as well as experienced staff.

@lukasz Either one works, though I think 'carried out' sounds more natural. 'Executed' sounds better when it is the only verb in the sentence, or if the sentence ends with 'executed', as in 'the orders were correctly executed'. But this may just be my preference!
