The first step is to identify which type of policy you need a copy of. There are three general categories of policy:
• Corporate policy – these are usually created by the company's management team and cover topics such as the company's vision and values, employee code of conduct, equal opportunity and anti-discrimination policies.
• Government policy – these are designed to meet legislative requirements and cover topics such as occupational health and safety, consumer protection and environmental regulations.
• Industry policy – these are usually created by an industry body or sector association and can cover topics such as best practice guidelines, ethical standards and sustainability.
Once you have identified the appropriate category, you can search for the specific policy name or keywords on the internet, or contact the company or organisation directly to request a copy.
