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.
“Embraer is navigating a period of strong market demand, consistent results and high ambition, within a global environment that calls for absolute synchronisation,” said Roberto Chaves, EVP 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 focused on the company’s commitment to operating as a single, integrated value chain, reinforcing supplier relationships built on trust and consistent execution.
