Nowadays, the role of economic conditions and external constraints of the organization in shaping the behavior of firms and reporting patterns has received more and more attention from researchers. In this regard, the aim of the present study is to analyze the effect of sanctions as an important external constraint on corporate sustainability reporting using the game theory framework. This study is of an applied type and its data was collected from the financial statements of the companies and a questionnaire. To estimate the model, the opinions of 31 experts in the field of accounting and auditing were used and approaches based on deep learning algorithms were used in the deep layers of analysis. The research findings showed that the intensity of competition has a positive effect on the profitability of the leader firm and the follower firms, with the difference that this effect is stronger in the leader firm. Also, spillovers reduce the profitability of the leader firm and increase the profitability of the follower firms. The results showed that sustainability reporting also increases the profitability of both leader and follower firms, and its effect on the leader firm is more noticeable; which can strengthen the leader's motivation to enter this field more actively. Examining the role of sanctions revealed that sanctions cause a significant decrease in the profitability of leader and follower firms, and the intensity of this effect is more significant in smaller firms. Also, increasing the leader's bargaining power leads to a serious decrease in the profits from sustainability reporting in follower firms; while increasing the follower's bargaining power, although reducing the leader's profits, this decrease is not very significant compared to the increase in the followers' profits.
