Awards categories Based on the proven impact of solutions Digital LighthousesSustainability Lighthouses Description Digital Lighthouse Awards recognize organizations and production ecosystems (single sites and end-to- end value chains) that have achieved step-change impact in productivity through technology-enabled transformation in their production sites and wider production ecosystems. Sustainability Lighthouse Awards recognize organizations, projects and production ecosystems that have achieved step-change impact through industry-leading reductions in energy, emissions, water and waste in pursuit of a holistic set of net-zero, decarbonization and circularity goals. Impact domains –Factory: focuses within the four walls of the factory on asset utilization, worker enablement, quality improvement and resource optimization. –E2E value chain: connects with suppliers and customers to improve planning, service and working capital. –Decarbonization and circularity: achieves or on track to achieve net-zero emissions in factories, supply chains and/or products; transforms resource loops; builds with circular materials; and designs circular products to eliminate lifecycle waste and water.Lessons from the latest Lighthouses Launched in 2018, the Global Lighthouse Network (GLN) – a World Economic Forum initiative co-founded with McKinsey and today led by a coalition of industry partners – showcases leaders who make positive, measurable impacts on productivity and sustainability, enabled by technology.1 In today’s dynamic and technology-driven industrial age, the leading organizations of the Global Lighthouse Network (GLN) cut through the fog and light the way for others. Launched with a mission to carry forward the ambition of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), the GLN is now a global beacon for those striving to achieve industry- leading operational performance, with each member an indisputable leader in its respective industry. To reflect these ambitions, the GLN has assembled an advisory board to help steer the Network’s future direction, including Foxconn Industrial Internet, Johnson & Johnson, Koç Holding, McKinsey & Company, Schneider Electric and Siemens. This paper introduces these aspirational Lighthouses and explores how they have pushed through the scaling slump and achieved step- change impact through advanced applications of technology use cases, frontline talent innovations and sustainability solutions. By telling their stories, the GLN seeks to inspire transformational change, foster collaboration and shape a better future for all players in the ecosystem. Lighthouses in 2024 were evaluated in two cohorts, reflecting the two application waves offered each year. They received recognition for their distinctive performance in digital and sustainability domains (see Table 1) In which categories were Lighthouses awarded in 2024? TABLE 1 Note: Award categories will be updated for 2025, reflecting GLN’s ongoing commitment to recognize the most operationally excellent production sites and value chains.
