Abstract
The paper discovers that going green should mean saving money, not spending more. Since adopting a new ´lean and green´ operating philosophy, IT manufacturer Blue Coat Systems is on target to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by 3,000t (tonnes) a year. Blue Coat designs and manufactures networking equipment, such as Internet security and gateway devices. Most of its uniqueness is in its software, which it installs onto hardware built by contractors in China. BluePlanet has brought people together from across the company in multidisciplinary groups focused on doing things better.
