How many missed approaches?

Perhaps this is more a survey(?) but my question to pilots is:

Does your company have a maximum number of approaches allowed in bad weather conditions (assume the 'heaps of fuel situation') and if so, what main reason(s) lie behind the S.O.P?

I have heard varying limits ie: 3 approaches then go or hold after the first one etc etc etc. My operator is looking at introducing such a policy and I'd like some 'industry practice info'.

thanks in advance.
