Those industries buy themselves a clean environment-friendly image
A recent example I found is Formula1 planning to be "carbon-free" by 2030 https://www.bbc.com/news/business-51226066, but carbon-offsetting is something very discussable, and they wouldn't account for their fans carbon cost which represent 8 times theirs (a solution could be no spectators, and at this point they could avoid travelling around the planet which would save from almost all their pollution)
To be fair, I'm not especially against those producers, I think the ones that need to act responsibly are consumers and their elected governments. Consumption decrease → demand decrease → production will adjust accordingly
