Embraer held an awards ceremony to recognize the best suppliers of the year in 10 categories. The event, which took place during the Embraer Suppliers Conference (ESC), an annual conference for strategic alignment with the supply chain, highlighted the collaboration, resilience and commitment of partners who contributed to the company’s results.
“With a strong and aligned supply chain, last year proved our ability to achieve ambitious goals and set new records. But shaping the future means being ahead of the curve, embracing challenges, anticipating risks, applying Lean principles, with safety first and quality always, and moving forward together to drive efficiency in our business. We shape the future by acting today with collaboration, purpose and vision,” said Roberto Chaves, Embraer Executive Vice President, Global Purchasing and Supply.
With the theme “Together we shape the future”, ESC highlighted the fundamental role of suppliers as strategic partners in a year of great challenges, in which collaboration and operational efficiency were essential to achieve great results. “The year 2024 has challenged us in many ways, but it has also pushed us to achieve more than ever before. What lies ahead holds even greater potential and, with this exceptional team, we are ready to unlock it”, highlights Roberto.
The awarded suppliers also become part of the Supplier Advisory Council (ESAC), a strategic committee in which suppliers and Embraer's senior leadership collaboratively discuss market trends and business opportunities, strengthening partnerships to drive mutual growth.
With suppliers in more than 60 countries and an extensive base, Embraer annually holds the award as a way of recognizing the efforts of the entire supply chain.
