This study identifies key approaches to managing the process of building a positive corporate image under martial law, a period characterized by significant changes in the economic environment, an increase in information risks, and heightened reputational sensitivity among stakeholders. It is argued that wartime conditions impose new requirements on corporate behavior, necessitating adaptive management of image-building processes focused on ensuring trust, transparency, social responsibility, and business sustainability. It has been established that a positive image during a crisis is a strategic resource for a company, one that is shaped not only by communication efforts but also by concrete actions to support employees, ensure business continuity, and participate in social, humanitarian, and volunteer initiatives.

An algorithm has been developed to manage the process of building a positive corporate image under martial law, which involves sequentially completing the following interrelated stages: assessing the company’s current image; identifying the target groups and their expectations; developing a target model for a positive image; developing and implementing a set of image-building measures; monitoring the results and adjusting management decisions. It has been determined that the implementation of the algorithm should be based on a combination of communication, organizational, social, and reputational tools, including ensuring transparency of information, using digital communication channels, responding promptly to negative information signals, supporting employees, and developing socially responsible initiatives.

The adaptive nature of the proposed algorithm has been substantiated; it allows for the prompt adjustment of image policy in response to the changes in the security situation, the information environment, stakeholder expectations, and the emergence of reputational risks. It has been demonstrated that its application contributes to strengthening a company’s reputational capital, increasing stakeholder trust, ensuring stable communications, and creating the conditions necessary to maintain competitiveness and long-term business development under martial law.
