Retailers increasingly recognize that environmental responsibility is a strategic imperative. However, little research has investigated or identified the factors that facilitate the successful implementation of environmentally responsible strategies across a network of customer-facing sales units (stores). We propose that a store manager’s ability to lead by example facilitates this process by fostering a supportive climate for store environmental stewardship (SENS-climate). By examining the influence of store managers’ actions on sales associates’ perceptions of the SENS-climate, as well as the subsequent impact on their performance—measured by margins, as well as sales of green and regular products—this study demonstrates that store managers can foster a SENS-climate by articulating their prioritization of environmental responsibility in their operational decisions. These positive effects are sustained by relational factors, such as the moderating effect of the store manager–sales associate dyadic tenure. In contrast, when store managers display high variability in their environmental orientation, it hinders the development of SENS-climate perceptions among sales associates. If sales associates perceive an enabling SENS-climate, they achieve higher margins and more green but fewer regular sales.

In this paper, we argue that the Anthropocene is an epoch characterized not only by the anthropogenic dominance of the Earth's ecosystems but also by new forms of environmental governance and institutions. Echoing the literature in political ecology, we call these new forms of environmental governance “global assemblages”. Socioecological changes associated with global assemblages disproportionately impact poorer nations and communities along the development continuum, or the “Global South”, and others who depend on natural resources for subsistence. Although global assemblages are powerful mechanisms of socioecological change, we show how transnational networks of grassroots organizations are able to resist their negative social and environmental impacts, and thus foster socioecological resilience.

El consumo inapropiado de antifúngicos ha contribuido en años recientes al incremento global de la resistencia antifúngica y ha jugado un papel importante en los cambios epidemiológicos y en la etiología de las infecciones fúngicas. Además, el sobreuso de antifúngicos conlleva un riesgo de toxicidad asociada a los mismos y un muy significativo aumento en el gasto sanitario. Los programas de control del uso de antifúngicos consisten en intervenciones multidisciplinares, lideradas por especialistas en enfermedades infecciosas, microbiología clínica y farmacia, que establecen redes de cooperación y comunicación con los principales servicios prescriptores, con el fin de optimizar el tratamiento antifúngico y el manejo de las infecciones fúngicas invasivas. Sin embargo, la experiencia en el desarrollo de programas de optimización del uso de antifúngicos es muy limitada, pues la mayoría de los esfuerzos se han centrado en el control de los antibacterianos...
