Copper A tracked procurement-relevant organisation, company, supplier, country, region, port, commodity, regulator, route or similar subject.
Accepted collision risk: 'copper' is British informal slang for a police officer - judged acceptable given this corpus is business/ trade press, not crime reporting, and copper's importance as a tracked industrial metal.
