German to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Management
German term or phrase: Leitungsrunde
From the human rights, anti-corruption and anti-bribery policy of a company:

"Diese Aufgabe obliegt vielmehr der gesamten Leitungsrunde (Geschäftsführung sowie Bereichsleiter) von XXX und wird von dieser als Team wahrgenommen."

What is the best way to get this across - can't use team as this is also in the sentence, how about forum? management forum? leadership forum?

senior/upper management team
Explanation:
I'd say this task is the responsibility of the senior/upper management team.

Compare with this:
"It is the responsibility of the senior management team to identify key success factors in the current time period and to develop resources and capabilities to meet these factors in the current time period."

"Rather, this task is the responsibility of the entire senior management team (top management and divisional chiefs) who treat their job as a collective endeavor."

I think it's more effective to use 'team' to describe senior management in the first part of the sentence but less so in the second part. "As a team" is a worn-out cliche that needs to tweaked occasionally to retain its meaning.
