Abstract: Introduction. Contemporary Ukrainian enterprises have been operating under the influence of numerous economic and environmental threats that significantly affect their performance and development. Among the most serious challenges is the ongoing war that has resulted in the destruction of infrastructure, the suspension of production activities in certain regions, and disruptions to logistics chains, thereby complicating business operations and reducing investment attractiveness. At the same time, the environmental consequences of the war, including environmental pollution and ecosystem degradation, havecreated long-term ecological risks.Problem Statement. The risk matrix has become an important tool for the systematic analysis of potential threats across various fields of activity, enabling the classification of risks according to their probability and potential impact. Its application facilitates effective risk management, reduces potential losses, and contributes to the sustainable development of enterprises.Purpose. The purpose of this study is to test the applicability of the risk matrix method for the identification, assessment, and systematization of the principal eco-economic risks faced by Ukrainian industrial enterprises under conditions of war, energy instability, and environmental challenges, as well as to develop a set of practical measures aimed at reducing these risks and mitigating their adverse effects.Materials and Methods. The study has employed the matrix method that involves constructing a risk matrix in which identified risks are distributed according to their significance. This approach has facilitated the prioritization of threats and supported the formulation of appropriate managerial decisions aimed at risk prevention and mitigation. Results. The study has demonstrated that eco-economic challenges constitute a critical factor affecting the operationand development of contemporary Ukrainian industrial enterprises, particularly under conditions of war and economic instability. The application of the risk matrix has enabled the assessment of potential threats, the identification of critical risks, and the development of targeted measures for their mitigation. The findings have confirmed the necessity of a systematic approach to risk management based on the implementation of innovative solutions, the attraction of financial resources, and the establishment of strategic partnerships with international organizations.Conclusions. The results obtained have shown that the implementation of the proposed measures can enhanceenterprise resilience, mitigate the negative consequences of eco-economic risks, and strengthen competitive advantagesunder conditions of ongoing global transformation and uncertainty.
