Abstract
Assessing climate risk at the firm level remains a major challenge, particularly for manufacturing firms embedded in complex supply chains. Existing approaches often consider climate risk under general enterprise risk management, overlooking manufacturing-specific operational and supply-chain issues. This study addresses the gap by developing and evaluating climate risk assessment and self-evaluation tool tailored to manufacturing firms using a design science approach. Grounded in literature on climate risk and manufacturing supply chains, the tool addresses physical and transition risks across upstream, focal-firm, and downstream tiers. Validation interviews with industry practitioners confirm its practical relevance and usefulness for supporting systematic climate-risk management.
