A company is sponsoring me in my application for an employment visa.
I wonder whether there is a possibility to extend the work permit to my girlfriend. She has been living with me for two years. Is the answer the same if you are married?

No, the work visa will be for you only. Your girlfriend will be in HK on a tourist visa until such a time as she gets a job and then she can apply for an employment visa. If you get married, then she can apply for a dependents visa.

Moreover, the work permit is linked to to you working for that specific company. And even if you were married and she were granted a dependent's visa that would not allow her to work either. She needs to get her own employer to sponsor her for her own work permit if she wants to work here.
