corporation

noun

An organization that the law recognizes as its own entity, existing apart from its members and holding rights and debts separate from theirs.

Example sentence

“The corporation employs thousands of people worldwide.”

The adjective is 'corporate', which now colors the noun: 'a big corporation' often carries a hint of facelessness.
