In carrying out their social responsibilities, companies can carry out their social responsibility activities in line with achieving their strategic
objectives. However, on the other hand, the companies can implement CSR which is unwittingly not in line with companies'strategic objectives. As a
company, a state-owned plantation company and regional-owned plantation company also should carry out Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
activities. The obligation arises because types of both companies are exploring or managing natural resources. This study aims to analyze the
differences in the implementation of strategic corporate social responsibility model between regionally-owned plantation company and large state-owned
plantation company in Pandhalungan area. The objects of this study are regionally-owned plantation company called as Company X and a given
plantation of state-owned plantation company called as Company Y. The analysis method of this study is comparison. In analyzing data, this study used
a CSR strategic model matrix developed by Sayekti (2011) that integrated GRI, value chain, and diamond framework indicators. The results of this study
found differences in the implementation of strategic CSR model between both study objects. Company X undertook only strategic CSR activities,
whereas Company Y undertook CSR activities both strategic and non-strategic. That difference caused by various factors, including the difference in
vision and mission and companies’ objectives, the difference in binding regulations related to CSR activities, and the difference in CSR budgeting.
