LafargeHolcim to get name change

LafargeHolcim – the parent company of Aggregate Industries – is to get a name change:  
Switzerland’s LafargeHolcim is proposing to simplify its name to Holcim Ltd, the world’s largest cement maker said on Friday, reverting to the name of the dominant partner in the 2015 merger that formed the company. 
The reason given: for "efficiency and impact, while building on the group’s legacy."

Others might think it's to escape from controversy over Syria, Myanmar, human rights and pollution.
