Cecelia Murphy (asker) Nov 26, 2008:
Yes. Exactly, it's promotional material, so this should be laudatory.
Paul Cohen Nov 26, 2008:
Just to make sure that we've understood this correctly, could you provide some more context, Cecelia? You've listed this under Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations. Is the text praising the direction that the company has taken?

policy

I see the underlying meaning as being that the results confirm that the company has taken the right decisions / is following the right policy. The "course" results from the policy that was adopted to make the company head in that particular direction.
Peer comment(s):

agree Bernhard Sulzer : because they are talking about results of a decision in the past; maybe: current policy

Thanks, yes - "current policy" is good
