The document promotes going green and lean to reduce waste and environmental impact. It suggests that being lean, by eliminating waste and improving efficiency, can pay for initiatives to also be green. As an example, it notes that Toyota was both lean and green and became 3 times more profitable. It encourages building everything to a net zero carbon standard by 2020 to further combine lean and green goals.
