ZURICH: UBS Group AG is asking its bankers to rethink the way they discuss some sustainable products in public following advice from its lawyers, according to sources.

The development affects the kind of language bankers are free to use when presenting a whole array of topics spanning net-zero goals to individual transactions for clients. Specific products such as debt-for-nature swaps are among those affected by the heightened level of legal anxiety, a source said.
