I'm not a fan, but Ineos aren't just a fracking company.
They've got fingers in just about every pie going, from nasty ones (oil refining, 4x4 manufacturing, dumping caustic soda in the Manchester Ship Canal) to nicer ones (they're big in products and services for the wind energy industry, generating sustainable energy from waste materials and hand sanitiser during/post-pandemic).
If you look at their product list on Wikipedia they make pretty much all of the chemicals essential to modern life:

Comparing them with Shell is simplistic and sponsoring a trade team is also very different to sponsoring the official UK governing body.
