Global Lighthouse Network 2025

For the value chains flowing through Lighthouse sites, these approaches have delivered 50% reductions in new product introduction times. Lighthouses have experienced eight times less revenue shock than their peers in the wake of the pandemic and have achieved a reduction of between 30% and 50% in scope 1 and 2 emissions, as well as initial improvements in scope 3 emissions. Chapter 3 explores these value chain solutions in detail. Lighthouses continue to represent the leading edge of holistic performance for sites, production networks and value chains. They have proven that “pilot purgatory” can – and should – be surpassed, with a playbook that has worked for 189 sites and counting. They are continuing to advance the performance frontier by innovating with impact through technology, talent and sustainability solutions. It has never been easier to learn from this playbook and repeat it. In the next chapter of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the focus must shift from learning to doing – the global transformation of industry will require millions of production sites, not hundreds. Fast followers should be celebrated for following the Lighthouse playbook quickly, efficiently and effectively to achieve holistic performance. The Global Lighthouse Network is excited to rise to the occasion, with a rigorous framework that recognizes sites demonstrating operational excellence in all performance domains: technology, talent and sustainability.
