Embraer, a global leader in the aerospace industry, held the awards ceremony for the best suppliers of the year in 10 categories. The event, which took place during the Embraer Suppliers Conference (ESC), an annual conference focused on strategic alignment with the supply chain, highlighted the collaboration, resilience and commitment of the partners who contributed to the company's results.
"With a strong and aligned Supply Chain, last year proved our ability to deliver ambitious goals and set new records. But shaping the future means staying ahead – by embracing challenges, anticipating risks, applying lean principles with safety first and quality always, and standing together to drive efficiency across our businesses. We shape the future by acting today with collaboration, purpose and vision," said Roberto Chaves, Executive Vice-President of Global Procurement and Supply Chain, Embraer.
With the theme "Together we shape the future," ESC highlighted the fundamental role of suppliers as strategic partners in a year of significant challenges, where collaboration and operational efficiency were key to achieving great results. “2024 challenged us in many ways, but it also pushed us to achieve more than ever. What lies ahead holds even greater potential — and with this exceptional team, we're ready to unlock it,” says Roberto.
The awarded suppliers become also part of the Suppliers Advisory Council (ESAC), a strategic committee in which suppliers and Embraer's senior leadership collaboratively discuss market trends and business opportunities – strengthening partnership to drive mutual growth.
With suppliers in more than 60 countries and an extensive base, Embraer holds the awards every year as a way of recognizing the efforts of the entire supply chain.
