The partnership between Google and the Environmental Defense Fund

I interpret that to mean that Google is getting paid for this work. They're not doing it out of kindness.

ETA: So, yes, PR BS.

It seems like media spin more than PR BS. The EDF should be the company being recognised as they appear to be accountable for the program and the article quotes the EDF directly.

I expect google probably is better click bait.
