It "alludes" (to), not "eludes".
And you and I are both complete jerks for being literate in at least one natural language.
Seriously, though, the original attempt at writing actually does mean something -- if the companies do comprise communities somehow (perhaps of users or shareholders), then it makes sense to reference the subset of companies that comprise a particular community. But that's not what the author intended to say -- they just wanted a pompous way to say "all the companies" or (better) "the companies".
(And don't get me started about misusing "community" to mean "group" or "collection" or "lame way to make the preceding word plural", as in "the developer community".)
