Thank you very much ! This was really helpful

A major part of the problem is that you're trying to setup authorship for your company's google+ page and not for an individual. That's not how it works. You have to tie authorship to an individual and authorship is meant to be setup for aritcles and blogs, rather than sitewide. To tie a brand page to your site you should use rel=publisher.
