Water management initiatives are implemented under a concept called water footprint management (WF management). Different initiatives and pressures might have a positive influence on the implementation of WF management;
such as the adoption of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices;
government support and coercive pressures. This study assessed the effects that CSR practices;
government support;
and coercive pressures have on the implementation of WF management initiatives. This study also evaluated the effects that the adoption of WF management has on firms’ reputations and legitimacy. A quantitative methodology was employed;
in which a survey of 113 Chilean firms in the agri-food industry was carried out. Data were analyzed with the Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modelling method;
which determines causal relationships between constructs. We found that CSR and government support exert a direct;
positive;
and significant influence on WF management. Also;
WF management was found to have a direct;
and significant effect on firms’ reputations and legitimacy. CSR has a greater influence on WF management compared to government support;
which shows that CSR initiatives are of paramount importance;
surpassing the support provided by governments for the implementation of WF management practices. Considerable indirect effects of CSR on reputation and legitimacy were also observed. This study’s findings imply a crucial role for governments in prioritizing coercive pressures. In addition;
it is imperative that agri-food firms foster their CSR programs to improve the implementation of WF practices;
as the urgency of the situation cannot be overstated. © 2024 by the authors;
