The panel data is used for companies' commitment to social capital, while the likelihood to choose sukuk represents ethical financing based on 5 years data selected from 2015 2019 in evaluating the relation between dependent and independent variables using the regression method. Based on findings, Size (Log of Total Asset), Leverage Ratio (Debt to Total Asset) and Asset Structure (measured as net plants, property and equipment divided by total assets) have significant impact on the propensity to issue sukuk. In addition, the results show little evidence to support that the Profitability Ratio (Net Income to Total Asset) and company growth (Growth Rate of Total Asset) influence the likelihood of choosing sukuk.
