      Pakistan. The study employs the survey method to collect data, utilizing a 
      one-to-one interview approach with a matrix-style questionnaire administered to a 
      panel of experts selected through purposive sampling technique. Interpretive 
      structural modeling (ISM) combined with Matrices' Impacts Cruise's Multiplication 
      Appliquee a UN Classement (MICMAC) and structural equation model (SEM) are used 
      for data assessment, modeling, and analysis. The findings indicate that 
      compliance with government regulations and stakeholders' pressure are the 
      essential drivers of CSR adoption and positively influence CSR adoption.
