Sustainability levers across Lighthouse value chains FIGURE 18 Examples of linear and circular solutions from the 2024 Lighthouse cohort Solution domainExamples Lighthouse companies Facilities optimizationReduce electricity/water consumption per unit of output, reduce total site gas consumption-71% Scope 1 & 2 emissions Process optimizationProcess re-design for resource efficiency, improve process yield/material recovery, reduce scrap-20% Energy consumption Asset optimizationRepair or refurbish equipment to reduce leakage, extend useful life -58% Scope 3 emissions Retrofit equipment/fleet, replace with lower carbon alternatives, convert from scope 1 to scope 2-31% Scope 3 emissions Carbon capture (CCUS1, DAC2)Convert to feedstock, long-term storage Emerging Green energy procurement (LCFFES3)Switch to low-carbon fuels/renewables, on-prem or supplied by grid+20% Green enegy utilization rate Design & specification optimizationSwitch to low-carbon feedstock, use high-performance or lightweight materials, improve recycle allowance, improve disassembly and recyclability, improve durability, re-think value proposition-72% Volume of concreteand steel Sustainable sourcing & procurementSourcing recyclates to replace virgin input, sustainable secondary packaging solutions, collaborative procurement to amplify demand-21% Plastic consumption Supplier emissions managementPartner on upstream scope 3 emissions reporting; hold suppliers accountable -39% Scope 3 emissions Planning & logistics optimizationImprove forecast accuracy to minimize overproduction, streamline transportation flows-35% Scope 3 emissions (transportation) Re- manufacturing componentsDisassembly and reassembly of defective product component parts-70% Scope 3 emissions (cradle to gate) Closed-loop processesOn-site recycling, re-use of process by- products, scrap, excess heat, or water as inputs-47% Primary material consumption Circular business modelsProduct-as-a-service/subscription models, incentivize/offer repair of sold products, take-back-scheme/ refurbishment of products-38% Raw material consumption Closed-loop systems and networksPartnerships with aluminium/steel scrap recyclers, reverse logistics, offtakers for process waste/scrap+50% Input material recycled contentLinear Make Take WasteA combination of solutions is needed to reach net zero Reduce Reuse Recycle Recover CircularScope 1 Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources Scope 2 Indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity and other energy sources Scope 3 All other indirect emissions that occur in a company’s value chain 1. Carbon capture, utilization and storage 2. Direct air capture 3. Low carbon fuels, feedstock and energy sources. Source: Global Lighthouse Network.
