German term or phrase: auf Unternehmenskosten

I'm not sure whether this means "at the company's expense" or "as a business expense" (i.e., for tax purposes). Both can be found in dictionaries, but the meanings are quite different. Context:

Einmal im Jahr lässt _____ erfolgreiche Führungskräfte
auf Unternehmenskosten zu diesem
einwöchigen Training einfliegen.

Thanks!

My translation:
Once a year, _____ lets successful senior staff fly in for this one-week training program, at the company's expense.

Grading comment

Thanks to all, including David and Ingeborg for additional help. As to whether this is PRO or non-PRO, I have difficulty with this idea in general. It seems that an educated German, not a specialist, would know the answer to this particular question, which is why I made it non-PRO. But I awarded 3 points, for what it's worth.
