This is marketing, and marketing can be one of the less legitimate corporate endeavours (being in most cases literal manipulative propaganda). Serious corporations don't really care what negative externalities they cause, just as long as they don't have to pay for them.
They've bought a little cred with whoever they wanted to impress (be that the crypto kids, or olds painfully trying to be hip).
