Hello.
Could you please tell me if the following sentences are correct?

1) Thanks to working day and night for a week, they finally achieved their goal.
2) Owing to getting up late, Tom missed the first train.
3) Due to being polite, Lisa promised to go to Joe’s party.

1) Thanks to working day and night for a week, they finally achieved their goal.

That's possible.

2) Owing to getting up late, Tom missed the first train.

That's awkward and unnatural. Say: "Because he got up late, Tom missed the first train".

3) Due to being polite, Lisa promised to go to Joe’s party.

A more natural version would be: "Being polite, Lisa promised to go to Joe's party".

I might start #3 with something like "Purely out of politeness".
