I know the meaning of this phrase I believe, it is used to give the most
common or important example when you are abbreviating a list. I can't come up
with anything that sounds really good as a translation.

> Policy A, Policy B をはじめとする guidelines on the topic of X.

What I have at the moment is

> Guidelines on the topic of X including Policy A and Policy B.
