It's a bit complicated. In civil law jurisdictions a company can be a «person». As such the company can file complaints or be accused of something. The law defines whether an organisation can be viewed as a person. For example in Switzerland associations are legal persons as long as their organs are operative. Organs of a legal person are for example the board, the general assembly and others.
This means, a company can suffer from a violation of protected rights. An example is the right for information (a form of free speech).
Whether the ECHR would ever accept or has already accepted a complaint from a company I don't know. After all companies aren't really humans.
