It's more than an anthropomorphism.  Companies are legal persons, and 
most commercial law that applies to human beings (legally: natural 
persons) also applies to corporate persons.  Employees generally act as 
agents of the company.

I believe this is true for the USA and UK.

(Michael Moore's film, "Corporation", plays on this technicality by 
trying to attribute a personality type to companies.)
