With the plans to convert its entire fleet to EV's, the purchase of the EV’s represents a continued effort by Artemis DNA to reduce the carbon footprint of its operations. Artemis DNA has been aggressively pursuing a commitment to a robust environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiative which includes a number of climate-oriented goals. In a recent letter from Artemis DNA Founder and CEO, Emylee Thai, she stated that the company is dedicated to becoming a leader in environmental stewardship within the diagnostics and healthcare industry.
It is anticipated that Artemis DNA will take delivery of the VinFast EV’s starting in the fourth quarter of this year in support of both of the companies’ massive global expansion plans. With the reservation placed, Artemis DNA will be VinFast's first corporate customer in the U.S.
“It is with the help of innovative companies like VinFast that we are able to continue our work transforming healthcare around the world while still being a good corporate citizen. Artemis DNA is committed to maintaining our status as an exemplary leader in the diagnostics and healthcare industry.” said Ms. Emylee Thai, Founder and CEO of Artemis DNA.
Madam Le Thi Thu Thuy, Vingroup Vice Chair and VinFast Global CEO shared: "We are very pleased that VinFast's electric vehicles received numerous positive feedback from Artemis DNA and U.S. customers as soon as we launched at CES 2022 in Las Vegas, NV. This shows the trust of U.S. customers with VinFast's brand and the quality of our electric vehicles."
