(single purpose) non-profit organization
A bit of a long shot, as at German law these seem to be companies that exist to essentially support the single purpose interests of e.g. associations, rather than actively conduct business as such.
No exact U.K. equivalent in U.K. AFAIK. Closest would probably be a company limited by guarantee, which would be typical for something like e.g. a residents' association with common assets.

Definitely not to be confused with \"Zweck des Betriebes\"
If an easy solution were acceptable, I guess you could say \"purpose of the associated company\"

Armorel Young
: organisation may be enough for your purposes - a Zweckbetrieb is something quite specific in German tax law but I'm not sure there's an exact translation

: Armorel: that would be a registered lobbying group (slightly undignified). . perhaps 'public interest group' would do.

Nee Klaus! Weder noch - es ist doch eine gesetzliche Firmierung. Irgendwie laesst sich das adaptieren.
