Embraer today recognised its best suppliers of the year in 10 award categories during the 2026 Embraer Suppliers Conference (ESC), honouring partners whose consistent execution and collaboration have been central to operational efficiency and strong performance in 2025 across its global supply chain.
"Embraer is navigating a period of strong market demand, consistent results and high ambition, within a global environment that calls for absolute synchronisation." says Roberto Chaves, Executive Vice President of Global Procurement and Supply at Embraer. "In this context, the Embraer Suppliers Conference plays a critical role in recognising supplier performance and reinforcing alignment with partners who are essential to our operational efficiency and sustained performance."
Under the theme "Moving Forward as One", the 2026 Embraer Suppliers Conference highlighted the company's commitment to operating as a single, integrated value chain, reinforcing supplier relationships built on trust and consistent execution. "The strong results delivered by Embraer in 2025 reflect our ability to raise the bar on safety, quality and efficiency, together with our suppliers, to deliver strong performance and exceed customer expectations," Roberto points out.
The awarded suppliers also become part of the Supplier Advisory Council (ESAC), a strategic committee in which suppliers and Embraer's top leadership collaboratively discuss market trends and business opportunities, strengthening partnerships to drive mutual growth.
With a global supply chain spanning more than 60 countries, Embraer holds the annual awards to recognise supplier performance and reinforce long-term partnerships across its value chain.
